Taipei, April 23 (CNA) Foreign Minister Joseph Wu (吳釗燮) honored Heritage Foundation founder Edwin J. Feulner on Monday for his contribution to promoting Taiwan-U.S. relations.

Wu conferred the Grand Medal of Diplomacy on Feulner, who has worked through his foundation to make policy proposals favorable to Taiwan to the U.S. government and speak up for Taiwan among policymakers and think tanks, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

“His efforts have greatly contributed to the strengthening of Taiwan-US ties,” it said.
