Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen told European parliamentarians on Tuesday that the island seeks closer international cooperation in the face of the rise of authoritarianism threatening democracy in Ukraine and elsewhere, her office said.
Tsai thanked the members of joint Swedish, European Parliament delegation for their long commitment to Taiwan-related issues and active promotion of bilateral exchanges and cooperation, calling them "all good friends of Taiwan," according to the Office of the President.
Boriana Aberg, chairwoman of the Swedish-Taiwanese Parliamentarian Association, said the Russia-Ukraine war is the horrific result of a dictator's ambitions.
