Taiwanese Vice President Wu Den-yih concluded his three day official visit to Belize today.
This afternoon at 1:00 his motorcade left for the Phillip Goldson International where he was greeted by members of the Taiwanese community.
And while he had support from his people - from a media perspective, his official visit was relatively low profile - and 7news was the only independent media at the airport when he left.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Sedi Elrington saw him off and we asked him what came out of the visit. Here's what he told Daniel Ortiz:..
Hon. Wilfred Elrington, Minister of Foreign Affairs
"He has just boarded the plane and the last word that the ambassador said to me was that he was very happy. He thought that he had a very successful trip to Belize."
Daniel Ortiz
"Can you tell us a little bit about the meetings that you guys had as the top level ministers?"
Hon. Wilfred Elrington, Minister of Foreign Affairs
"We had a very meeting really. It was really one of getting to know each other very briefly and then just to express our appreciation with the nature of the relationship which we had with Taiwan - we see it as a partnership whereby we assist them and we assist them in terms of their own conflict with China and the support we give them in the United Nations and other forum and they assist us in terms of our developmental programs. So basically what we did was to kind of restate the position as it relates to our relationship with them and theirs with ours and to pledge continued support and cooperation between the two of us."
Vice President Den-Yih flew out on Taiwan's state jet and is returning to Taiwan after a stop in New York.
This trip to the region was his first official visit after being sworn in three months ago.
