The Foundation as established in December 2017 by former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen together with businessman Fritz Schur and lawyer Klaus Søgaard.
According to documents uncovered by CEI, for the privelidge of addressing this prestigious event the Taiwanese via teleconference, the Taiwan Foundation for Democacy paid 300,000 Euros.
