Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former prime minister of Denmark, is set to speak at the 2025 Yushan Forum in Taiwan, according to Taipei Times. Rasmussen will be joined by former Slovenian prime minister Janez Janša, as the forum aims to strengthen cooperation between Taiwan and its regional and international partners.
The two-day Yushan Forum started today 17 March 2025 in Taipei under the theme of “New Southbound Policy+: Taiwan, the Indo-Pacific and a New World.”
The participation of Rasmussen and Janša underscores growing ties between Taiwan and Europe. Rasmussen, who also served as NATO Secretary-General, has been a vocal advocate for democracy and security in the Indo-Pacific.
The Yushan Forum, first held in 2017, serves as a platform for dialogue on regional development and international collaboration. Previous editions have hosted government leaders, business executives, and academics from across Asia and beyond.
