Taipei, June 13 (CNA) President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) will depart on June 24 for an overseas visit, the Presidential Office announced Monday. It will be Tsai’s first overseas trip since coming to office on May 20.

The president is due back in Taiwan on July 2, the Presidential Office said without giving other details.

Foreign Minister David Lee (李大維) has said that Tsai will visit Panama and Paraguay, two of Taiwan’s diplomatic allies in Latin America.

It has been reported that the president will transit in two U.S. cities — Miami and Los Angeles — on her way to Panama and on her way back to Taiwan but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said last week that arrangements had yet to be finalized.     [FULL  STORY]
