Both leaders agreed that the text of the Liberal International resolution on Taiwan, adopted at the 191st LI Executive Committee in October 2013, rightly addresses the wire-taping scandal and its consequences. The two leaders renewed their call on all democratic political forces in Taiwan, be it in government or in opposition, to fully adhere to the wording and the spirit of the adopted LI resolution.
