Lai Ching-te meets with former Japanese foreign minister, frequent visits by Japanese politicians to Taiwan draw attention

On December 26, Lai Ching-te met with former Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi Toshimitsu, who visited Taiwan. Lai stated that he welcomed and thanked Hayashi for his long-term support for Taiwan, as well as the repeated statements by the Japanese government and parliament on the international stage that "the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is a necessary element for world security and prosperity."

In recent days, Japanese politicians have frequently visited Taiwan. Deputy Chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party, Hashimoto Kōichi, and former Minister of Justice, Suzuki Kazuhisa, have already led delegations to visit Taiwan. With Hayashi Toshimitsu, nearly 30 Japanese members of parliament are expected to visit Taiwan in the future. This fully demonstrates that the degree of collusion between "Taiwan independence" forces and Japanese right-wing elements continues to deepen. We must remain highly vigilant and take resolute countermeasures such as sanctions to firmly thwart their separatist plots.
