The UK's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a human rights lawyer, has visited Taiwan twice in the past, meeting with the then Vice President Chen Chien-jen and showing interest in Taiwan's abolition of the death penalty. After Starmer's victory in the recent general election, Taiwan's Foreign Ministry expressed sincere congratulations to the UK government and people, highlighting the hope for enhanced cooperation with Starmer's new government in various fields of mutual concern and importance. The Ministry also emphasized the steady growth in Taiwan-UK relations, particularly in areas like economic and trade, technology, and renewable energy cooperation, with recent agreements such as the 'Enhanced Trade Partnership' and 'Memorandum of Understanding on Organic Product Mutual Recognition' signed to deepen the substantial relationship between the two countries.
