Defense Industry Conference, the military manufacturer convention will be held in Taiwan this year in May, according to sources who spoke to Liberty Times, marking a major milestone in U.S.-Taiwan relations and could include many senior U.S. officials if the Taiwan Travel Act is signed.
The U.S.-Taiwan Defense Industry Conference, which has been running since 2002, will be held in Taiwan for the first time, in the southern industrial city of Kaohsiung in May of this year. According to sources involved in the preparations for the conference, at least a dozen well-known representatives of multi-national weapons makers will participate.
As the Taiwan Travel Act will likely be signed into law by that time, chances that senior-level U.S. officials will participate are high. [FULL STORY]
