The showcase of Taiwanese talents in the country is seen to further strengthen the interaction between Taiwan and the Philippines  

With this year’s theme “Dynamic Youth, Friendly Taiwan,” Dr. Gary Song-Huann Lin, Representative of Taiwan (ROC) to the Philippines, is sure that the visit of the Taiwan Youth Ambassadors will further strengthen the growing interaction between Taiwan and the Philippines. They are here not only to reflect Taiwan’s goodwill and showcase the authentic Taiwanese culture, but also to enhance their understanding of the Philippines, as Taiwan and the Philippines are close neighbors.

The visit of the Taiwan Youth Ambassadors is very timely as the ROC (Taiwan) Government, under newly elected President Tsai-Ing-wen has launched the “New Southbound Policy.” Under this policy, the Philippines, which has always been on top of the agenda, will be the gateway and major partner for Taiwan to expand an array of multifaceted cooperation and partnership among ASEAN countries. Based on the New Southbound Policy, Taiwan will speed up and broaden its cooperation with the Philippines not only in trade and investment, agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture, SMEs, ICT, climate change, but especially in education and culture which is well exemplified by the visit of the Taiwan Youth Ambassadors.
