A delegation of former senior US officials has arrived in Taiwan to meet with outgoing President Tsai Ing-wen. About it reports Bloomberg.
Former National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley and former Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg will reportedly meet with Tsai to discuss bilateral relations following the country's presidential election. Journalists also write that the delegation will meet with the country's Vice President Lai Qingde, who will become the future head of state.
