The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded today (25th). Recently, some specific political parties, celebrities or media reported that President Tsai Ing-wen will visit in the near future.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that President Tsai has visited and stopped in the United States many times since taking office. The most recent time was in July 2019 when he led a delegation to visit Latin American allies, and stopped in New York and Denver in the United States on the way out and back, and received high-level courtesy from the United States. Reception has also set many good precedents.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that arranging high-level visits abroad has always been a key task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If there is a specific plan for the president's visit, the Presidential Palace and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take the initiative to explain it to the public in due course.
