Amb. Lee welcomed The Hon. #Andrus Ansip, Member of European Parliament and former Prime Minister of Estonia by hosting a lunch while he was attending a conference in Riga on 13 October.
Mr. Ansip recalled his August’s visit to Taiwan, saying he greatly enjoyed every bit of his stay, namely meeting with #President Tsai, giving a speech at “#Ketagalan Forum—2023 Indo-Pacific Security Dialogue”, riding Maokong Gondola and visiting the Taipei Zoo, enjoying a variety of local foods. He was also impressed by Taipei’s cheap taxi fares by international standards.
Mr. Ansip expressed his deep sympathy for the Taiwanese people by emphasizing that the war in Ukraine has taken many Estonians back in their minds to the time of Russian occupation for decades. Any support from the rest of the world for the restoration of Estonia’s independence was highly expected and warmly received. The experience of suffering makes him strongly feel that it is his and Estonia’s responsibility to help those whose self-existence is threatened. Mr. Ansip also reaffirmed his strong commitment to Taiwan’s endeavors.
