Thank you, sir, for the question.
Why is the minister's visit important to Taiwan? I think it's because a minister's meeting doesn't come about easily.
For any minister to visit a country, they would probably get some lower-ranking officers to visit, and usually there's some concrete result out of the minister's meeting. In our foreign service, a minister's meeting has something that cannot be replaced by a visit of lower-ranking officials. This is why it is not really symbolic in a sense. A minister's meeting will always carry out something concrete, something useful for bilateral relations, and this is why a ministerial visit is very much welcomed by Taiwan.
