Response to We the People Petition on Taiwan and the Philippines
Thank you for your petition regarding the May 2013 case of the shooting death of a Taiwan fishing boat captain in disputed waters.
The United States, through the American Institute in Taiwan and the American Embassy in Manila, as well as here in Washington, has consistently encouraged cooperative efforts between Manila and the authorities in Taiwan to resolve the matter. The United States continues to support the ongoing negotiations between Taiwan authorities and the Philippines on a fisheries agreement that will institute measures to make such confrontations less likely in the future.
We are pleased to see that tensions between Taiwan authorities and the Government of the Philippines have decreased markedly over the past year. We support their efforts to manage their disputes in a peaceful and cooperative manner.
The Philippines, a treaty ally of the United States, and Taiwan, an important security and economic partner of the United States, in a region vital to international commerce, have much to gain from the full restoration of their longstanding close friendship and cooperation.
Thank you again for your petition. We appreciate your input and the opportunity to convey our shared commitment.
