Taipei, Oct. 18 (CNA) Taiwan has received confirmation that it will remain a part of the American visa 
MOFA said in a statement that the confirmation came in an Oct. 15 letter from the American Institute in Taiwan, which it said demonstrated the success of the countries' efforts to strengthen law enforcement cooperation.
The ministry did not explain what led to the confirmation, but the U.S. typically conducts periodic inspections to ensure that VWP members are following the required protocols.
Taiwan joined the VWP in November 2012. Following an inspection in 2014, its membership was extended in 2015, the ministry said. [FULL STORY]
