💨 Abstract

Taiwan's former Vice President, Chen Chien-jen, will attend Pope Francis' funeral as an envoy of Taiwan President Lai Ching-te, according to Taiwan's Foreign Ministry. This decision comes in light of the deep friendship between Taiwan and the Vatican, one of only 12 countries maintaining formal relations with Taiwan. The move reaffirms Taiwan's stance against Beijing's sovereignty claims.
