MOSCOW (Sputnik) - A US delegation of former National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley and former Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg will be in Taipei on Sunday, the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) has said.
The delegation will meet with "a range of leading political figures" on Monday and convey congratulations from the American people to Taiwan on the election, the statement read.
The AIT serves as the United States' de facto representation in Taiwan.
On Saturday, the Taiwanese Central Election Commission named Lai Ching-te, the candidate from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the winner of the election after he secured 40.05% of the vote.
