MOFA welcomes the assurances from both US President Joe Biden, during his interview with ABC, and State Department Spokesperson Ned Price during a press briefing, on the US commitment to Taiwan.
Taiwan plays an indispensable role in the collective security and prosperity of the international community and will continue to upgrade our defensive capabilities to maintain the hard-won freedoms and democratic institutions of the Taiwanese people. We will continue to work with #LikeMinded partners like the US to ensure the peace, stability and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region.
In the course of the interview, President Biden stated that there was a fundamental difference between Afghanistan and Taiwan and that the #US will honor its sacred commitment to its partners, including Taiwan.
Price responded to a question on comparisons made by third parties between the situation of Taiwan and Afghanistan, stating that the US continues to support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait relations consistent with the wishes and best interests of the Taiwan people. He added that the US has an abiding interest in peace and security across the Taiwan Strait central to the security and stability of the broader Indo-Pacific.
