Tsai is set to make two stopovers in the U.S. as she embarks on a visit to four of the nation’s diplomatic allies in Central America.
A 120-person delegation led by Tsai to Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador will leave Taiwan 10 a.m. Saturday and return Jan. 15.
The trip, titled the “Ying Chieh Project” (英捷專案), will see Tsai attend the inauguration ceremony of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega on Jan. 10.
Tsai will stop in Houston, Texas on the outbound leg of her trip, and in San Francisco on her return to Taiwan. [FULL STORY]
