representative to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders summit, met with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday.
At a time when the news media has paid close attention to whether Chang and Pence would meet with each other, officials from Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the two met at around 1:30 p.m. PNG time and held a discussion.
The talks were held after Pence finished a speech at the APEC CEO Summit, which Chang also attended. The MOFA officials said both met on a cruise ship, where the CEO summit was held.
A U.S. administration official also told a press pool that Pence “is currently having a ‘pull-aside’ with the Taiwanese head of delegation to APEC Morris Chang.”
