The Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Legislative Yuan reviewed the budget of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today, and invited Foreign Minister Wu Zhaoxie to participate in the consultation. During the questioning, the KMT legislator Wen Yuxia asked, is there any hope for my country to join the CPTPP?

Wu Zhaoxie said that according to his personal wish, "I hope to start the talks tomorrow and finish them the day after tomorrow."
