駐美國的台北文化經濟辦事處今(28)日上午在臉書貼出,新任駐美代表蕭美琴與國務院亞太助卿史達偉(David Stilwell)合照。對於到底兩人在哪裡會面,外交部上午還不願意說明。不過,蕭美琴下午則親自在臉書證實,是在國務院會見助卿史達偉。
蕭美琴今日在臉書以英文表示,「It was a pleasure to meet Assistant Secretary David Stilwell in the State Department. We had a productive discussion about a number of important bilateral and regional issues. Under our socially distant masks are smiles. As often said, “Taiwan is a force for good in the world” and a reliable partner. I look forward to working together on more progress in our relationship!」。
