Taiwan Conducts Secret Diplomatic Visit to Israel to Strengthen Security Cooperation

SadaNews Translation - According to the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, citing three sources who spoke to Reuters, Taiwan's Deputy Foreign Minister recently made a secret visit to Israel. This move comes as part of an increasing trend in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, to enhance security cooperation with Tel Aviv, despite Israel not officially recognizing the Taiwanese government as an independent capital.

According to the sources, the visit was sensitive due to the geopolitical tensions surrounding relations with China, which considers Taiwan part of its territory and rejects any official dealings with it.

Nevertheless, it seems that Taipei is seeking to expand its circle of security partners in the region at a time when regional and international challenges are increasing.

No official comment has been made by either side regarding the visit or its outcomes, while estimates suggest that cooperation between the two parties may include advanced technical and security fields.
