Premier Su Tseng-chang says Taiwan has made a major diplomatic breakthrough by attending an event

held at the United Nations. Su was speaking Tuesday at the legislature.

Su’s comments came a day after a Taiwanese diplomat posted in New York attended the Global Call to Protect Religious Freedom event at the UN headquarters. US President Donald Trump gave a speech at the event calling on the international community to protect religious freedom.

Su spoke on the importance of Taiwanese diplomat Lily Hsu’s participation.
