Mr. Chair, I'm not sure I have the answer to that, to be honest.

I can say that we do co-operate with many like-minded nations on a variety of issues, including Taiwan. We share best practices and we discuss with them our respective approaches to Taiwan. We've been involved in projects such as the Global Cooperation and Training Framework, GCTF, where we support and work with Taiwan.
