Peace in Taiwan Strait a Global Concern, Says Mullen

Maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is “not just a U.S. interest, but also a global one,” former Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullen said Wednesday during a visit to Taiwan that comes amid the backdrop of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region have “never been more important,” Mullen said in remarks to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen.
