Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said that her recent overseas trip, which included the United States, showed the world Taiwan's determination to defend freedom and democracy, even as it prompted China to stage war games around the island
Tsai met U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy in Los Angeles last week at the end of her tour, which included stops in Guatemala and Belize.
"Faced with continued authoritarian expansionism it is even more critical for democracies to actively unite," she added. "Canada is a very important democratic partner. We are willing to do our utmost to jointly safeguard the values of freedom and democracy with Canada and many more like-minded international partners."
Despite China announcing the three days of drills had ended as scheduled on Monday, Beijing has continued military activities around Taiwan.
