Cheng also held a closed-door meeting on Tuesday afternoon with scholars from Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, according to the KMT.
Cheng said she hoped the first island chain, which marks the Chinese mainland’s closest seas to the wider Pacific, would “gradually transform from a front line of geopolitical contestation into a chain of peace and prosperity”, according to a KMT statement.
Cheng added that she looked forward to Taipei and Washington continuing to deepen their partnership in areas such as defence and security, supply chain resilience and international participation, according to the statement.
