TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwan People's Party (TPP) Chairman Ko Wen-je announced Friday (Feb. 16) that the party's legislative caucus will initiate contact with the Kuomintang (KMT) for potential legislative cooperation.
According to Ko, the matter of setting up visits between the two parties will be arranged by caucus office director Vicky Chen. He expressed the hope of establishing a mutually convenient schedule for these interactions, expected to commence next week.
This move comes as reform bills previously promised by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) remain stalled. The TPP has proactively proposed collaboration with the KMT to further these reforms.
TPP caucus whip Huang Kuo-chang stated that he has seen many proactive ideas from the KMT legislators recently regarding parliamentary and judicial reform.
Huang voiced optimism about the cross-party cooperation. He said, "I think it's a good thing if opposition parties can work together to quickly pass bills that the DPP has promised but failed to deliver, to meet the needs of Taiwan's society."
The TPP caucus has expressed openness to this collaboration, which hinges on the KMT's response.
