President Chen Shui-bian (???) was saddened after learning of the death of former US president Ronald Reagan on Saturday and asked the country's representative to Washington to convey his sympathy to Reagan's family, according to a presidential aide.
"President Chen said Reagan was Taiwan's best friend because of his support and friendship to Taiwan. His passing away is a loss for the United States and the world. Taiwan people will always remember his friendship and assistance to Taiwan," a statement issued by the Presidential Office said yesterday.
