TOKYO — Japanese lawmakers look to arrange face-to-face strategic dialogue with their American and Taiwanese counterparts, seeking to bring the incoming administration of Taiwanese President-elect Lai Ching-te into discussions of cross-strait tensions.
The Japan-Republic of China Diet Members’ Consultative Council met Monday, about a week after Taiwan’s presidential and legislative elections, to discuss how to work with the island’s next government, which will remain in the hands of the Democratic Progressive Party.
