Guardians,
We were pleased today to meet with Wang Ginn Wang, Minister of the Taiwan Coast Guard, and his staff at Coast Guard Headquarters. Through a series of meetings and briefings a significant number of topics were covered during the visit including an overview of our functions, law enforcement and fisheries enforcement, search and rescue operations, port security, enlisted workforce development, and our international training programs. During my personal meeting with Minister Wang we discussed common challenges presented by enforcement of exclusive economic zones, drug trafficking, and sustainment of our fleets. Our range of partnerships and outreach to Coast Guards around the world continues to grow. We thank the Minister and the assistance of the American Institute in Taiwan for this opportunity.
