The delegation of Taiwanese lawmakers includes 3 members of the opposition Kuomintang, 3 from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, and 1 from the smaller opposition Taiwan People’s Party. They will first stop in Arizona to visit TSMC’s facilities and meet with overseas Taiwanese. During the 6-day visit, they’ll also stop in Washington, DC for exchanges with US lawmakers and senior government officials. Parliamentary diplomacy is a key part of Taipei’s strategy to engage with unofficial partners.
