Germany's education minister said on Tuesday she was honoured to visit 'esteemed partner' Taiwan but that her trip was not connected to her government's China strategy, as Beijing said it had protested to Berlin about her 'vile conduct' in going there.
Taiwan's Minister of National Science and Technology Council Tsung-Tsong Wu, Taiwan’s trade and economic representative in Germany Hsieh Chih-wei, Director General of German Institute Taipei Jorg Polster and German Minister of Education and Research Bettina Stark-Watzinger pose for pictures during the signing ceremony of Germany-Taiwan Science and Technological cooperation arrangement, at National Science and Technology Council, in Taipei, Taiwan, March 21, 2023.
Education Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger, also of the FDP, said at the signing of a technology cooperation agreement with Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council Minister Wu Tsung-tsong that it was "extremely important to my ministry and me to promote cooperation with like-minded partners".
In Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said they had filed a strong protest with Germany about her "vile conduct". Given the sensitivity of the trip, Stark-Watzinger is not scheduled to meet Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen.
