台灣總統大選,蔡英文當選,AIT旋即表示,伯恩斯大使與美國在台協會主席薄瑞光將訪台北。
AIT說,美國政府已循往例,委任一位資深政治家以私人名義到台灣進行訪問。前副國務卿伯恩斯將於1月17日抵達台北,美國在台協會主席薄瑞光亦將陪同。薄瑞光先生於1999年至2001年間擔任美國在台協會台北辦事處處長,2006年2月被任命為美國在台協會主席。此次為他擔任主席以來第18次訪台。

Ambassador Bill Burns, AIT Chairman Raymond Burghardt to Travel to Taipei
As we have done previously following a Taiwan presidential election, the U.S. government has asked a senior statesman to travel in his private capacity to Taiwan. Former Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns will travel to Taipei on January 17. He will be accompanied by American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Chairman Ray Burghardt.
On January 18, they will meet with a range of leading political figures and convey the United States’ support for Taiwan’s continued prosperity and growth, as well as our longstanding interest in cross-Strait peace and stability.
This is Mr. Burghardt's 18th trip to Taiwan since his appointment as AIT Chairman in February 2006. Mr. Burghardt was the Director of AIT's Taipei office from 1999 to 2001.
