[Reporter Yang Yaoru/Report from Taipei]People’s Party vice presidential candidate and legislator Wu Xinying once once more attacked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When she was interviewed, she said that when she went to COP28 this time, it felt like “the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is running a travel agency,” but it was just next to the Taiwan sign. Taking photos and drinking coffee with foreign lawmakers who can go to the main venue in the blue zone; in response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it will no longer respond to these inappropriate words and deeds.

The Legislative Yuan passed the general budget for next year in the morning. Wu Xinying was interviewed following the meeting. The media asked whether Ke Wenzhe had issued a gag order asking her to stop scolding the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She pointed out that the media content was taken out of context and returned to the original point. During the questioning last Thursday, she mentioned an organization called ADB (Asian Development Bank). Australia, Canada, Spain, Italy and other countries all fight side by side with economy and diplomacy. Therefore, she asked during the inquiry why the solar panels and docks of Taiwan’s diplomatic allies were all made by China, and proposed constructive solutions.

Then she changed the topic and mentioned COP28 once more, saying that this time she went there and felt that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was running a travel agency and was just taking photos beside the Taiwan sign. The people drinking coffee with her were also congressmen, and they were also congressmen who might not speak in the blue zone. He also stressed that if he just wanted to have a cup of coffee with a congressman, he might just ask the dean to invite the foreign guests to Taiwan and he would be able to receive them well. The question is, what direction should the Ministry of Foreign Affairs take?

In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that as a vice presidential candidate, Wu Xinying has repeatedly criticized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and foreign personnel who defend national rights and interests in a light-hearted way. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will no longer respond to these inappropriate words and deeds.
