DPP clarifies

DPP clarifies

Thank you for the report on the delegation of the Democratic
Progressive Party (DPP) in Jakarta on Sept. 20. We understand the
limited time on Saturday (Sept. 25) did not allow a more
comprehensive interview between us, and we apologize for that.

There is something, however, that we'd like to clarify. For
example, according to your report "Huai-hui and 11 other party
colleagues are in Indonesia to monitor the presidential election.
Their four-day visit, which began on Sept. 15 was sponsored by
the Taipei Economic and Trade Office and the Friedrich Naumann
Foundation."

We'll need to clarify these two lines. The DPP's trip to
Jakarta was assisted by the TETO&FNF, not sponsored. We'd like
the wording to be more precise to avoid future confusion.

Lastly, on behalf of the delegates, we thank you for reporting
on our visit to Jakarta and hope the election will turn out to be
a successful one.
