It’s been a busy week.  Last Friday, Chairman Royce was in Seoul, wrapping up an official visit to Taiwan and South Korea.  Days later, he helped welcome Indian Prime Minister Modi to the U.S. Capitol and joined House GOP leaders in unveiling a national security agenda for 2017 and beyond.  Here are seven photos to help tell the story.

  1. Building Boats. In Yilan, Royce visited a shipyard that specializes in the manufacture of high-speed boats for exports to governments and law enforcement agencies.  Royce wants to see the U.S. do more to provide expert and technical assistance to help further grow Taiwan’s shipbuilding industry.
