The Presidential Office yesterday expressed gratitude to the US House of Representatives for supporting the right to allow high-level Taiwanese officials to visit the US.
Presidential Office Secretary-General Yu Shyi-kun made the remarks yesterday in response to the amendment passed Wednesday by the US House of Representatives to the Foreign Relations Authorization Act.
In the amendment to the appropriation bill for the US State Department, the House of Representatives said it is in the interests of the US to communicate directly with the democratically-elected government of Taiwan.
