(Washington, D.C.—July 1, 2015) China Aid hosted Taiwan’s former vice-president and current NGO leader Annette Lu during a visit to Washington, DC in late June to discuss the strategic importance of advancing religious freedom in the Asia Pacific region. During her visit, Madame Lu met with Members of Congress, and think tank and NGO leaders to build support for mechanisms to support human rights, religious freedom, and democracy in the Asia Pacific, including the Asia Pacific Religious Freedom Forum scheduled for early 2016.
While in Washington, Lu also provided interviews at Radio Free Asia and Voice of America, and met with Commissioner Katrina Lantos-Swett of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, and Members of Congress, including Senator Cornyn (R-Texas), and Congressmen Meadows (R-N.C.), McGovern (D-Mass.), Salmon (R-Ariz.), Pittenger (R-N.C.), Harper (R-Miss.), Smith (R-N.J.), Sires (D-N.J.), Forbes (R-Va.), Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.), and Chabot (R-Ohio).
China Aid works closely with NGO leaders such as Madame Lu to promote religious freedom and related human rights, and strengthen partnerships with like-minded individuals and organizations.
