Zitat:TAIPEI, Oct. 12 — Taiwan Foreign Minister Eugene Chien offered to resign on Monday to take responsibility for the loss of Liberia as a diplomatic ally, leaving the number of countries that recognise Taiwan at 26.
But Premier Yu Shyi-kun told reporters he had asked Chien to reconsider his offer, saying the minister was needed.
