TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — One week after returning from the U.S., Foxconn founder Terry Gou (郭台銘) announced a visit to Japan on Wednesday (April 12).

UDN reported that Gou’s office did not reveal details, but according to sources, it will be a short visit. He will meet with Japanese politicians and business people.

Gou’s U.S. trip was cut short when he returned two days earlier than expected on Wednesday (April 5) and announced his intent to win the Kuomintang’s (KMT) nomination as the party’s 2024 presidential election candidate. He also apologized for leaving the KMT four years ago.

In response to Gou’s trip, KMT Chairman Eric Chu (朱立倫) sent his blessings, describing Gou as an important asset to pan-blue (pro-KMT) groups.
