TAIWAN - The outcome of the summit between U.S. President Donald  Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this week in Singapore has been welcomed by Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA). It described the meeting as of great significance to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific “as it creates new opportunities for resolving long-standing issues in a peaceful manner”. 

The Ministry said Taiwan “highly commends the efforts by both sides in reducing tensions on the Korean Peninsula and in East Asia through dialogue”.

“It is hoped that all parties will take into account the interests of other nations in the region and work to completely denuclearise the Korean Peninsula and build a sustainable and lasting peace,” the Ministry said, adding that it would continue monitoring related developments and enhancing exchanges between Taiwan and related countries. www.mofa.gov.tw (ATI).
