Taipei, Nov. 7 (CNA) Taiwan hopes to work with European partners to strengthen the security of critical infrastructure, including undersea cables, Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍) said in a prerecorded video address to the Berlin Security Conference on Wednesday.

The video, disclosed for the first time by Lin on Facebook on Saturday, showed Lin saying that Taiwan is a good partner because it had gained extensive experience in responding to cyberattacks, disinformation and gray-zone activities.

Taiwan, Lin said, has promoted a whole-of-society approach to strengthening resilience and proposed a "RISK Management Initiative on International Undersea Cables" to address emerging security challenges.

The 25th Berlin Security Conference was held Nov. 3-4, with Lithuania as this year's partner country.
