Visit by Taiwan ex-president 'delayed to avoid angering China'

The Guardian

|

October 12, 2024

The Foreign Office asked for a visit by the former Taiwanese president to be postponed so as not to anger China before a trip by David Lammy, the Guardian has learned.

- Eleni Courea

Lammy is due to travel to China next week for high-level meetings in his first visit to the country as foreign secretary.

The British-Taiwanese all-party parliamentary group (APPG) had been in talks to host Tsai Ing-wen, the former president of Taiwan, in parliament this month. But the plans for a visit were postponed after the Foreign Office indicated that it could scupper Lammy's trip to China, three sources told the Guardian.
