The 2026 US-Taiwan Defense Industry Forum was held in Taipei today. Former US Army Pacific Commander Charles Flynn highlighted three directions for defense cooperation: building resilient and indestructible supply chains, committing to long-term relationships rather than one-off transactions, and creatively combining traditional precision strike systems with asymmetric warfare capabilities. Flynn emphasized that Taiwan's strategic value remains a cornerstone of regional peace. He also noted that while Taiwan's military has made significant progress, enhancing interoperability between the US and Taiwan is crucial for future security.
