TAIPEI -- A delegation of Japanese lawmakers including former Liberal Democratic Party Secretary General Shigeru Ishiba held talks with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen in Taipei on Thursday.
Four members of a cross-party group examining Japanese security issues visited Taiwan for the meeting, during which they affirmed the need to cooperate in security for the stability of the Asia-Pacific region.
In the meeting, Ishiba said: "We need to think about what kind of situations could occur, and how we should operate forces based on treaties and laws. Without a common understanding about such matters, we can't have deterrent power." Ishiba also stressed that Japan and Taiwan should consider specific security measures.
