When asked if she hoped Taiwan would set an example for other Asian nations by abolishing capital punishment, Andrikiene said: “Why not? You’ve been an example in many fields.”
On the issue of Taiwan’s plan to sign an economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) with China, Belder said the EU is convinced that the proposed pact would be beneficial to all sides, including the EU.
