TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A delegation of three lawmakers from the U.S. House Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations arrived in Taiwan on Wednesday (March 27) for talks concerning regional security.

Representatives Don Norcross and Representative Jimmy Panetta are accompanying subcommittee chair Jack Bergman to meet with President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), President-elect Lai Ching-te (賴清德), and Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) and exchange views on issues such as Taiwan-U.S. relations and the situation in the Taiwan Strait. The visit demonstrates bipartisan U.S. support for Taiwan, commitment to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and bilateral security cooperation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

The group is in Taiwan from March 27 to 29.

MOFA said that bipartisan U.S. delegations have visited Taiwan during every recess period of U.S. Congress this year. It pointed out that the House Armed Services Committee spearheads the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which typically includes measures such as Foreign Military Financing and Presidential Drawdown Authority that enhance Taiwan-U.S. security cooperation.

Last month, Representative Mike Gallagher led a delegation to discuss U.S.-Taiwan relations, regional security, trade and investment, and other significant issues of mutual interest with Taiwanese government officials.
