Exclusive: Taiwan foreign minister to make Europe trip next week -sources
Taiwan, which is claimed by China, has no formal diplomatic ties with any European country except the Vatican. Beijing regularly denounces any form of contact between Taiwanese and foreign officials, viewing it as encouraging global recognition of Taiwan's separate status from China.
Two of the sources, who like the others spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to speak with the media, said Wu was expected visit Brussels, headquarters of the European Union, but declined to give details.Wu will attend a security conference in Prague on June 14, and is due to speak immediately after Czech President Petr Pavel opens the event.
The European External Action Service, the EU's foreign affairs arm, declined to comment on the Brussels plans, saying: "It is not for us to communicate about third partners' visits and activities".Wu made a low-key trip to Brussels in 2021, part of a visit to the continent that also took in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where he spoke at a think-tank event in Bratislava and met local officials including Prague Mayor Zdenek Hrib.
