/TAIWAN: Taiwanese Media Circulate Pelosi's Schedule

US

Taiwanese media outlets run reports with a schedule of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, noting that she will visit the Legislative Yuan at the top of the hour (09:00 local time/02:00 BST). According to the Liberty Times, Pelosi will deliver a televised speech there, her first public remarks since arriving in Taiwan. The speech will be followed by closed-door meetings with caucus leaders of Taiwan's four main political parties.

  • The schedule leaked by Taiwanese media suggests that Pelosi started her day by meeting with President Tsai at 8:00am local time but there has been no official confirmation so far. Tsai and Pelosi are expected to meet again at 10:00am and then hold a joint press briefing around 11:00am.
  • In the afternoon, Pelosi is expected to meet with human rights activists and democracy advocates. Press reports suggest that she will then leave the island around 5:00pm.
