REFLECTING REALITY: The foreign minister said that the proposed change had been sent to the premier for approval. No change is planned now for the group handling US tiesBy Stacy Hsu / Staff reporterThe Executive Yuan is reviewing a proposal to change the name of the Association of East Asian Relations to the “Association of Taiwan-Japan Relations,” Minister of Foreign Affairs David Lee （李大維） said yesterday, adding that the change is expected to be approved by the end of this month.Lee made the announcement in response to a question from Democratic Progressive Party （DPP） Legislator Tsai Shih-ying （蔡適應） at a meeting of the legislature’s Foreign and National Defense Committee.Tsai’s question came one day after Representative to Japan Frank Hsieh （謝長廷） said at an event in Tokyo that a consensus about a proposed name change had been reached at the association’s recent board meeting in Taipei.“The Association of East Asian Relations is planning to use the name ‘Association of Taiwan-Japan Relations.’ The case has been referred to Premier Lin Chuan （林全） for approval,” Lee said.As for the possibility of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan being renamed the “Taiwan Representative Office in Japan,” Lee said negotiations with Tokyo were ongoing.Such name changes require the consent of both sides, with the same principle applying to overseas offices in other countries, Lee said.The Association of East Asian Relations is in charge of handling ties with Japan in the absence of formal diplomatic ties, which ended in 1972. Its office in Tokyo changed its name to the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Japan in 1992.Japan also set up a quasi-official organization, formerly known as the Interchange Association, Japan, to represent its interests in Taipei. The organization was renamed as the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association in January.Calls for the Ministry of Foreign Relations’ （MOFA） association to change its name to one that is more indicative of its real functions and improving Taipei-Tokyo ties have been growing since January.DPP Legislator Chih-cheng （羅致政） questioned Lee about changing the name of the Coordination Council for North American Affairs, established as the counterpart of the American Institute in Taiwan.“This issue should not be put at the top of our list of priorities, as there are still many concrete matters to be discussed between Taiwan and the US,” Lee said.In related news, Lee told lawmakers that relations with one or more of the nation’s diplomatic allies in the Caribbean are “kind of unstable,” but that “they are still under control.”“That is why a visit by President Tsai Ing-wen （蔡英文） to allies in that region in the second half of this year is being planned as part of the government’s efforts to cement ties with diplomatic partners there,” Lee said in response to questions from Lo.Lee said the ministry has taken measures to improve ties with the countries in question and that the situation was under control.“The ministry has been keeping close tabs on ties with Taiwan’s diplomatic allies and will address issues immediately if it notices something wrong,” he said.Lee did not cite specific countries.Taiwan has diplomatic relations with 21 countries, most of which are in Latin America and Africa.Additional reporting by CNA新聞來源：TAIPEI TIMES

國際中心／綜合報導

金正恩毒殺事件震驚全球，負責偵辦的馬來西亞因懷疑北韓當局涉案，兩國關係降為冰點，馬國6日宣布將北韓駐馬國大使姜哲驅逐出境。北韓也以牙還牙，5日下令宣布驅離馬國大使。

據《韓聯社》報導，馬國政府6日對姜哲下達驅使令，北韓政府也宣布依照《維也納外交關係公約》，驅逐馬來西亞駐北韓大使，自本月5日10時起，限期48小時內勒令離境。

姜哲曾指控馬國政府「針對金正男刺殺案調查不利，並企圖隱瞞真相與串通南韓勢力誹謗北韓。」馬國上月28日要求姜哲對其言論道歉，但對方卻無更進一步行動。因此馬國政府下令，將姜哲被列為「不受歡迎人物」，並於48小時內驅逐出境。

根據馬媒《中國報》報導，姜哲6日下午3時54分離開使館，一路直奔機場，抵達機場後向媒體表示，馬國政府的激烈舉動，絕對會對北韓、馬國40多年來建立的雙邊關係造成影響。

姜哲說，「我身為北韓駐馬大使，所作的言論是針對馬國警方先入為主的調查，表明我方立場」，「馬國在沒有北韓大使允許和在場的情況下，擅自驗屍、逮捕北韓人，並在沒有充分證據的情況下指控他人涉案。」

金管會新法規上路前，外國發行人趕著來台發國際板債券，美國電信業龍頭（AT&T）第三度來台發行國際板債券，這次利率拉高到5.5％，共發行14.3億美元（約合新台幣438億元），由8家壽險公司「全吃」。

繼2月包下蘋果來台發行的10億美元國際板債後，這次壽險業統包了AT&T的國際板債，其中南山人壽搶到5億美元、新光人壽吃下4億美元、富邦人壽則拿3億美元、中華郵政壽險資金也吃到1億美元，剩下如國泰人壽認0.5億美元，台銀人壽認0.4億美元，中壽也拿下0.3億美元，宏泰人壽包下0.1億美元。

上月蘋果來台二度發國際板債，3年不得提早贖回（Noncall）、最長發行30年的美元債，利率4.3％，共發行10億美元，發行利率比蘋果2016年6月發行的4.15％提高，南山人壽即認購3億美元，新壽及富邦各1.5億美元，中國人壽及台灣人壽、三商美邦人壽各搶到1億美元，國壽拿0.65億美元，也幾乎統包該次發行量。壽險業者表示，美國聯準會（Fed）啟動升息循環，現在新投資的債券，利率都明顯拉高，有助壽險公司提高固定收益率，同時，金管會已預告壽險業投資的國際板債券，投資時到可贖回日必須超過5年，以與保單期間匹配，由於債券要鎖較長年期，發行成本就會影響，因此，不少大型國外機構紛紛來台搶發國際板債券。(工商時報) var _c = new Date().getTime(); document.write('');
