Former Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's visit to Berlin is private, with no government meetings planned. She will speak at the Berlin Freedom Conference as Taiwan seeks to strengthen ties with Europe despite diplomatic isolation.

On Monday, former Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen made a private visit to Berlin, with no official meetings scheduled with government representatives, according to a German foreign ministry spokesperson.

Tsai's itinerary includes speaking at the Berlin Freedom Conference at 1315 GMT, as the diplomatically isolated island nation intensifies outreach efforts to Europe.
