Tang Feng, the Minister of Development of Taiwan's Digital Development Department, visited London, England. It was reported that he met with the British Minister of Security Tom Tugendhat, breaking the diplomatic practice of avoiding the meeting with Taiwan officials to avoid meeting with Taiwanese officials.

According to Reuters on Saturday (June 17), people familiar with the matter reported that Togenhart met on Wednesday (June 14) with Tang Feng who visited London to attend the Science and Technology Week Summit.However, several British officials and departments participating in the meeting were reluctant to disclose the details of the two people meet.

A female spokesman for the British Ministry of Political Affairs said: "We usually do not comment on ministerial private conferences." Tang Feng's office also refused to comment.However, a source revealed that the contents of the two talks are related to the joint security interests of both parties.

It is reported that although the British junior minister often hold talks with Taiwan ministerial officials, senior British Minister usually does not contact Taiwanese officials.As a result, Togenhart's move is likely to anger the Beijing government.

Luke de Pulford, the executive director of the multinational parliament alliance composed of the multi -national parliament, said that as far as he knows, this is the first time that the British Cabinet Minister has met with Taiwan Ministers.He said that this is welcomed. It should congratulate Togenhart to stand up to the pressure from other departments and create a new precedent. Now all ministers can follow suit.

According to the official website of the Taiwan Digital Development Department, Tang Feng visited the UK from June 11th and was invited to participate in the London Tech Week event.Tang Feng will visit the British government departments, Congress and the headquarters of the satellite industry, to share Taiwan's efforts and experience in digital government governance, communication toughness, and AI democratization.
