Taiwan’s government is hoping to engage in closer exchanges with high level officials from the United States. That was the word from Lin Liang-jung, head of the Coordination Council for North American Affairs, in an interview on Thursday.

The United States Senate passed the Taiwan Travel Act on Wednesday. The act promotes visits by government officials between Taiwan and the United States, and will become law, pending approval of the president.

Asked whether Taiwan’s government will take advantage of the latest development and invite US officials to visit, Lin said that Taiwan considers the United States a very important partner and hopes to engage in closer exchanges.

Lin also commented on the US Trade Representative’s recent report stating that Taiwan’s ban on US pork and beef imports has no scientific ground.    [FULL  STORY]
