Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to establishing a cybersecurity dialogue with Taiwan similar to the UK–Singapore Cyber Dialogue; and whether they intend to support Taiwanese participation in the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats, to address shared cybersecurity challenges.

The UK-Singapore Cyber Dialogue held on 13 June 2023 in London was followed by a second iteration in Singapore from 12-13 June 2024. The Dialogues strengthen our close ties on cyber collaboration and align our approaches in cyber governance and tackling cyber threats.

The UK's longstanding position on Taiwan has not changed. We do not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan but a strong, unofficial relationship with deep and growing ties in a range of areas, underpinned by shared democratic values. We support Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organisations as a member where statehood is not a prerequisite, and as an observer or guest where it is.
