Summary of address:
In recent years, bilateral and multilateral forums have frequently emphasised that peace and stability over the Taiwan Strait is indispensable to global security.
Half of the world’s commercial container traffic passes through the Taiwan Strait each day. Taiwan produces the majority of the world’s semiconductors and plays a key role in global supply chains. Any conflict in the area would have disastrous consequences for the global economy.
While we can all agree that war must be avoided, how to best do this requires inclusion, dialogue, and unity, (Jaushieh Joseph Wu, Taiwan Foreign Minister, September 2023)
Taiwan’s foreign affairs minister maintains that ensuring peace and stability in East Asia is in everyone’s best interest.
