It was our pleasure to welcome a delegation of U.S. congressional staffers to Taiwan.
TPP Legislator Dr. Wang An-Hsiang (Foreign & National Defense Committee) shared perspectives on Taiwan's national defense issues.
We fully respect that U.S. Foreign Military Sales (FMS) have specific regulations and that the U.S. has the right to decide when to notify Congress. However, Taiwan also has its own checks and balances between the executive and legislative branches. Under FMS guidelines, the U.S. executive branch must notify Congress of any single sale exceeding $50 million USD.
Since the currently announced items all surpass this threshold, there are no so-called confidentiality or classified leak concerns in Taiwan. Therefore, we believe our Ministry of National Defense (MND) has a clear responsibility to provide comprehensive information to the Legislative Yuan for proper review.
We value these meaningful exchanges with our friends from the United States and look forward to continuing to deepen Taiwan-U.S. ties.
