SINGAPORE — U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said Saturday that Washington will continue to uphold the “Taiwan Relations Act” and “One China Policy” after his much-watched meeting with Morris Chang, Taiwan’s representative to a regional economic forum in Papua New Guinea.

Pence met with Chang on the sidelines of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit on Saturday in Port Moresby, the first pull-aside bilateral meeting between a top U.S. leader and Taiwan’s envoy during the high-level regional economic gatherings in years.

Pence is not planning to have a separate bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping who is also attending APEC, according to American officials.
