The Prospect Foundation to host a speech by former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss MP in Taiwan
The Prospect Foundation will host a speaking event in honor of former UK Prime Minister, Liz Truss MP, in Taipei on May 17th at 10am at the Grand Hyatt Taipei. The keynote speech, entitled "Taiwan: On the Frontline of Freedom and Democracy," will be delivered by Truss. Since Truss entered politics in 2010, she has held various key positions such as Justice Secretary, International Trade Secretary, Foreign Secretary, and Prime Minister. Her portfolio demonstrates the wealth of her experiences and qualifications. Following the UK's exit from the European Union and UK's global strategic adjustment, a shift in focus towards the Indo-Pacific region, Truss played a key role in incorporating Taiwan's security into the UK's international perspective. During her tenure as International Trade Secretary, she was instrumental in the UK's formal application to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). As Foreign Secretary, Truss actively spoke out on the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, repeatedly emphasizing the need for peaceful resolution of cross-strait disputes and opposing any unilateral attempts to change the status quo. During her time as Prime Minister, Truss launched a review of the UK's 2021 Integrated Review, which had a significant impact on the UK's global positioning and delineation after leaving the European Union. The Prospect Foundation is deeply honored to host former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss MP as a speaker in Taiwan, and we are delighted that she has accepted our invitation. Her visit to Taiwan carries great significance in terms of showing concrete support for Taiwan's democracy. We believe that her speech will help to bolster the confidence of the Taiwanese people in defending democracy and freedom.
