DPP chairman to visit the US early next month

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairman Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) will visit the US early next month and deliver a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington (CSIS).

The trip will mark Su's first visit to the US since he took the helm of the DPP.

According to DPP spokesman Cheng Wen-tsan (鄭文燦), Su will leave for the US on July 1, and the trip will last about eight or nine days. Although some of the details of his trip are being finalized, his schedule includes confirmed stops in San Francisco, Washington, Boston and New York.

The DPP said Su would not transit through Japan, as some local newspapers had claimed.

In his stops in each city, Su will meet with local political leaders, US senators and congressmen, and Taiwanese emigrants. The most important part of his trip will be the speech at the CSIS, which is his only public engagement in the US.

In addition to official business, Su will also see his youngest daughter, who just graduated from New York University, and make arrangements ahead of his eldest daughter's entry into graduate study in Boston.
