Pelosi receives medal of honor
Taiwanese leader praised the US House Speaker for her stalwart support of the island.“The speaker’s courage and actions are deeply inspiring and touching,” Tsai said, according to the South China Morning Post, as she presented Pelosi with one of the highest-rank civilian awards – the Order of Propitious Clouds with Special Grand Cordon – for her firm stance in “safeguarding freedom, democracy and human rights.”
Accepting the award, Pelosi said that Washington “will not abandon our commitment to Taiwan,” while praising Tsai as a role-model “woman president in one of the freest societies in the world.”
In turn, Tsai vowed to remain a reliable US partner and to “firmly uphold our nation’s sovereignty and continue to hold the line of defense for democracy at the same time.”
