Invited by the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, Joseph Wu (吳釗燮) gave a speech at a luncheon in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel titled “Taiwan: An Enduring Partner with the U.S. in the Free and Open Indo-Pacific.”
At the event, which attracted an audience of 300, Wu was referred to by his formal title “Taiwan’s Foreign Minister” and the national flags of the United States and the Republic of China were prominently displayed on the two sides of the hall.
After greeting the audience, Wu said he was honored to have the opportunity to share the story of the 23 million people of democratic Taiwan, its 40-year partnership with the U.S., and Taiwan’s role as a force for good in the Indo-Pacific and beyond. [FULL STORY]
