Taiwan’s President Thanks G7 for Security Support

Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen has thanked the G7 countries and European leaders for their firm support of the country, as it faces threats from China.

On Twitter, Tsai said that she was “grateful to the G7 leaders for emphasising the importance of stability in the Taiwan Strait.”

“Taiwan is dedicated to maintaining a free & open Indo-Pacific, & will continue to work with our global partners to ensure regional security,” Tsai tweeted.
