Taiwan’s important role in the IndoPacfic was mentioned in the Joint Statement on Australia-US Ministerial Consultations (AUSMIN) 2020. In the statement US secretary of state Mike Pompeo, US secretary of defense Mark Esper, Australia’s minister for foreign affairs Marise Payne and minister for defense Linda Reynolds reaffirmed their intent to maintain strong collaboration with Taiwan and support Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations.
