The Seventh Taiwanese Presidential Election
The motion
That the Parliament notes the results of Taiwan’s presidential election, which was held on 11 January 2020 and saw the re-election of President Dr Tsai Ing-wen, with the former premier, Dr Lai Ching-te, of the Democratic Progressive Party, joining her as Vice President; notes that this was Taiwan’s seventh direct presidential election, with the first taking place in 1996; recognises what it sees as the close relationship between Scotland and Taiwan, which it believes is underpinned by shared values, and pledges to redouble efforts to further strengthen the bilateral ties.
