CHINA-INDIA: TWO INDIAN MPS FOR FIRST TIME "VIRTUALLY" ATTEND TAIWAN PRESIDENT'S INAUGURAL CEREMONY
|
Two BJP MPs — Meenakshi Lekhi and Rahul Kaswan — virtually attended the swearing-in ceremony of Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and even sent her congratulatory messages, in a departure from the Modi government’s position on the country that China claims is its territory. Tsai Ing-wen was sworn in for her second term on May 20, and Lekhi and Kaswan were among the 92 dignitaries from 41 countries who had a virtual presence at the ceremony as foreign visitors continue to be banned in Taiwan given the Covid-19 pandemic.
