From 10-12 September, Taiwan Foundation for Democracy (TFD) President Ford Fu-Te Liao visited the UK and met with Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) Chief Executive Anthony Smith. During the meeting, the two sides discussed the possibility of co-funding projects to further promote human rights in the Asian region. President Ford welcomed the WFD to nominate candidates for the TFD’s annual ‘Asia Democracy and Human Rights Award’ and invited Chief Executive Smith to attend the Asia Young Leaders for Democracy Program in Taipei, which will take place in June next year. The two also discussed the possibility of co-sponsoring visits from Southeast Asian legislators to Taiwan to observe the operations of the country’s democracy. The TFD President also expressed hope that the WFD would co-host a forum in the UK focusing on human rights in China and Asia.
