Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim said April 30 that Taiwan is committed to deepening partnership with the U.S. in artificial intelligence, security and industries across the board, according to the Presidential Office.
Hsiao made the remarks via prerecorded video at the Hill and Valley Forum in Washington, D.C. She stressed that Taiwan is a solid partner of the U.S. and is key to the North American country’s future.
Taiwan’s security is global security, the vice president said, adding that the country is developing its self-defense capabilities by procuring weapons from the U.S. and advancing its domestic defense industry. The government is dedicated to building whole-of-society defense resilience and leveraging domestic technology and manufacturing strengths such as drones and next-generation communications to support the country’s security needs, she noted.
Hsiao went on to say that Taiwan’s success in deterring aggression requires support from its partners, adding that the country is eager to deepen industrial and technological ties with the U.S.
According to the vice president, Taiwan can contribute more to U.S. industrial revitalization. Domestic industries are a reliable source of key high-tech components and precision machine tools, which complement U.S. advantages in innovative software and system design, she said, advocating that the two sides form an industrial alliance.
Taiwan’s technology ecosystem also plays a vital role in building advanced AI platforms used by top U.S. enterprises, Hsiao said. Companies from Taiwan value opportunities to expand their market presence and invest in U.S.-based AI technology partners, she added, emphasizing that the government is working to reduce the bilateral trade deficit and expand collaboration with the U.S. in the golden era of AI.
Hsiao concluded by reiterating Taiwan’s determination to safeguard its hard-won freedom and to collaborate with the U.S. to ensure that future generations have the power to protect the country and its democratic system. (YCH-E)
