Taiwan’s Deputy NSA Hsu Szu-chien will participate in the Raisina Dialogue in India, marking significant public involvement for a senior Taiwanese official. He is part of a delegation that includes I-Chung Lai of The Prospect Foundation. Hsu will discuss treaty challenges with international panelists, amidst heightened Taiwan Strait tensions.
Taiwan’s Deputy National Security Adviser, Hsu Szu-chien, is slated to speak at the upcoming Raisina Dialogue, a significant global summit held in India. This marks a potential first for a high-ranking Taiwanese official to engage publicly at such an official event. Hsu is part of a delegation that also includes I-Chung Lai, president of The Prospect Foundation, which provides advice on global political and security challenges.
Typically, visits by senior Taiwanese security figures are discreet and lack public acknowledgement; however, this year’s participation by Hsu signifies a shift. While senior officials have attended previous Raisina Dialogues, their roles were often kept underreported, lacking public engagements. This year, Hsu will be involved in a panel discussion titled “Stress Test: Treaties Face Moment of Truth”, scheduled for Monday.
Hsu’s panel will feature international experts, including Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski from Poland. Recently, Hsu, along with another Taiwanese official, conducted strategic meetings with members of President Donald Trump’s transition team amid heightened military activities by China in the Taiwan Strait. Such engagements underline Taiwan’s intent to solidify its international presence and address strategic challenges head-on.
The participation of Taiwan’s Deputy National Security Adviser Hsu Szu-chien at the Raisina Dialogue symbolizes a notable moment for Taiwan’s international relations. It represents increased openness about Taiwan’s role in global security discussions and highlights its ongoing efforts to engage with international partners amid rising tensions with China.
