針對國民黨籍台中市長盧秀燕，未經告知，將與AIT處長的行程公開，民進黨國際部今（17）日傍晚發出中英文聲明，點名國民黨主席江啟臣，「盧秀燕市長對AIT處長的外交突襲，江主席能接受嗎？盧秀燕市長這種破壞台美互信與友好的行為，江主席能接受嗎？」
民進黨在官方臉書，除發出聲明，還刻意tag江的臉書。
聲明指出，在外交上，互信與尊重是外交工作最基本的原則。唯有互信與尊重，才能開啟真誠的對話。相信曾經是國際關係教授的江啟臣主席，對這個道理也不會陌生。
英文聲明如下：
Yesterday, AIT Director called on Taichung City Mayor Shiow-Yen Lu. According to media reports, the originally closed-door meeting was unilaterally turned into an event open to the media by the Taichung city government.
In diplomacy, mutual trust and respect are basic principles, and it is only through these mutually understood respect that heartfelt dialogues can occur. As a former professor of International Relations, Chairman Johnny Chiang must be familiar with these protocols as well.
Paging #ChairmanJohnnyChiang, do you agree with Taichung City Mayor Shiow-Yen Lu's diplomatic ambush on AIT, which is in fact an act jeopardizing the US-Taiwan mutual trust foundation?
