Taiwan foreign minister to attend new Phoenix office opening
Original: Foreign minister to attend Phoenix office opening
Taiwan's foreign minister is travelling to Phoenix, Arizona, to attend the opening of a new representative office. The visit would mark a rare trip by a senior Taiwanese official to the United States and reflects Taiwan's effort to deepen ties with US state and city governments. The Taipei Times reported the plan, which is likely to draw attention given Beijing's objections to official Taiwan-US contacts.
Why now: A senior Taiwanese diplomat visiting the US for an office opening is notable because such trips carry political weight amid tensions with China.
