在對話中,薄瑞光說,他欣賞馬英九對美台關係的no surprises政策,他重提馬英九給他的三點承諾:台灣不會為證明美國會軍售台灣,就要求美國販售特定武器系統;台灣不會為了向外展示美國支持,要求美國給予過境待遇;台灣不會因政治考量,堅持使用某些特定名稱。(Taiwan would not ask for a certain kind of
transit just to show that the U.S. would grant it; Taiwan
would not ask for certain weapons systems just to show the
U.S. would sell them; and Taiwan would not insist on certain names just for domestic political considerations)。
