Taiwan To Send Officials To US For FIRST EVER F-16 Handover Ceremony
Season 1, Ep. 7188
•
Taiwan's defence ministry said Wednesday it will send senior officials to the United States this week for a handover ceremony of its first F-16V fighter jet under a multi-year arms deal.
The visit comes nearly six years after Washington approved the $8 billion deal for 66 warplanes during US President Donald Trump's first term.
"The first aircraft has now completed its full assembly," Chiang Yuan-chi, director of the Air Force's planning division, told a news conference.
Taipei has "assigned a deputy minister to lead an Air Force delegation to the US for the ceremony", said Chiang.
