In a news release issued after the vote, the KMT caucus said that it was curious the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) caucus had supported the two proposals, given Wu’s comments. However, she sidestepped reporters’ questions on whether the ministry would work toward the resumption of diplomatic relations. Hopefully, the KMT would continue to think for the nation based on the best interests of the nation, Su said.
