Bipartisan Taiwanese delegation attends Asian-Pacific Parliamentarians' Union general assembly, emphasizes international cooperation
A bipartisan delegation of Taiwanese lawmakers recently attended the 54th General Assembly of the Asian-Pacific Parliamentarians' Union (APPU). This conference serves as an important forum where legislators from countries across the Asia-Pacific region gather to discuss common challenges.
The Asian-Pacific Parliamentarians' Union has a long history, originating from the Asian Parliamentarians' Union (APU), which was established in 1965 at the initiative of former Japanese Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi and others. Through this organization, a cooperative relationship has been built between Japanese and Taiwanese lawmakers over many years.
At this general assembly, the participating lawmakers reaffirmed the importance of "cooperation" with other nations. In particular, a consensus was reached that dialogue between legislators is essential for deepening peace and economic ties within the region.
While the previous general assembly was held in Taipei, Taiwan, this year's event took place at a different location and brought together representatives from many countries. It is hoped that countries in the Asia-Pacific region will continue to build better relationships through this framework in the future.
