The Taiwanese Defence Minister, Mr. Wu Shih-wen, has said that Taiwan would test-fire the U.S.-made Pac-2 missile system in June, becoming the first foreign country to test-fire it on its own soil. "The army has nearly finished deploying the Pac-2 missile system bought from the United States. We will test-fire it next month," he told a news conference. "A group of U.S advisers will arrive in Taiwan to supervise the live-fire test," he said. Taiwan is the first foreign countries to be allowed by Washington to test-fire the Pac-2 anti-missile system on its own soil.
