NEW DELHI: Taiwan on Friday said China’s “outrage” over a “cordial” exchange between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te is “utterly unjustified as threats and intimidation never foster friendship”.
The comments by the Taiwanese Foreign Ministry came a day after China protested an exchange of messages between Modi and Ching-te, saying it opposes all official interactions between Taiwan and countries having diplomatic relations with Beijing. On Wednesday, Lai greeted Modi for poll victory.
