TAIPEI, Taiwan—During the first stop of his East Asia tour, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott met with Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te and emphasized the importance of the partnership between Texas and Taiwan.
“The role that Taiwan plays on the global stage is so incredibly important for so many reasons,” Mr. Abbott said during his meeting with Mr. Lai in Taipei on July 7. “Trade is an obvious one. Semiconductor technology innovation is another one. But what you do also is so important for world peace and for democracy across the globe.”
