Statement Marking One Year since the Passing of Former President Lee Teng-hui
AIT joins Taiwan in marking one year since the passing of Lee Teng-hui, former president, reformer, partner, and friend of the United States. Taiwan’s profound transition to a vibrant democracy in a little over a decade took place under President Lee’s leadership, and forms the foundation of the U.S.-Taiwan partnership that has brought so much benefit both of our peoples, the Indo-Pacific region, and the world. An alumnus of Iowa State University and Cornell University, President Lee also embodied the deep and broad people-to-people ties which bind the United States and Taiwan. President Lee’s courage and commitment helped transform Taiwan into a beacon of freedom and democracy and in cementing the U.S.-Taiwan friendship destined to endure into the future.
