TAIPEI: A United States Navy P-8A Poseidon plane flew through the Taiwan Strait, the US 7th Fleet said on Wednesday, after US and Chinese defense chiefs held their first talks since November 2022 in an effort to reduce regional tensions.

The patrol and reconnaissance aircraft 'transited the Taiwan Strait in international airspace,' the 7th Fleet said in a news release.
