Taiwan hopes to sign a trade deal with Britain and deepen cooperation with new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government, President Tsai Ing-wen told a British minister visiting Taipei on Wednesday in defiance of Chinese demands such trips stop.
Taiwan views Britain as an important democratic partner and has been heartened by its concern over recent Chinese military exercises near the island and support for its participation in international organizations, most of which Taiwan is excluded from due to China’s opposition.
“We attach great importance to the British proposal to promote an enhanced trade partnership between Taiwan and Britain,” Ms. Tsai said. Taiwan also hoped Britain could “smoothly” join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP, and support Taiwan’s membership of the trade group, Ms. Tsai said.
