Taipei, July 22 (CNA) President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said Monday after returning from a 12-day trip to

the United States and the Caribbean that her visit strengthened Taiwan's ties with the countries she visited.

Speaking after arriving at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Tsai said her stops in the U.S. were longer than in the past, allowing her to exchange ideas with U.S. officials and scholars and members of think tanks, scientific research institutions and the business sector.

"Some say they have seen the U.S.-Taiwan relationship upgraded, but I think 'deepened' would be the right word to describe current bilateral relations," she said.

On her tour of Taiwan's four Caribbean allies, Tsai said that by visiting Haiti, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and St. Lucia in person, she gained a deeper understanding of the cooperation between Taiwan and the four countries.    [FULL  STORY]
