Germany's education minister on Tuesday inked a technological cooperation deal with Taiwan, kicking off the first cabinet-level German visit to the island in 26 years.
Bettina Stark-Watzinger signed the Science and Technology Agreement with Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council on the first day of a trip that is likely to draw criticism from China.Beijing views the self-ruled democratic island as its territory, to be taken one day -- by force if necessary. China routinely opposes official exchanges between Taiwan and its international partners.
At the signing ceremony in Taipei, Stark-Watzinger said"it is a great pleasure and honour" for her to be the first German government minister to visit in more than two decades.
