Calling it an “unreasonable interference”, Taiwan’s foreign minister said, “This is a very common thing to congratulate each other. Why do other people have something to say about it? I don’t understand. This is a very unreasonable interference between two leaders congratulating each other on the commonly used X platform.”
Newly elected Taiwanese president Lai Ching-te congratulated PM Modi on winning third term in 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Responding to this, PM Modi had said that he looked forward to having “closer ties as we work towards mutually beneficial economic and technological partnership.”
