Mainland Affairs Council Minister Chiu Chui-cheng visited the Taiwan-Hong Kong Economic and Cultural Co-operation Council (ECCC) headquarters Dec. 26 in Taipei City, pledging to promote further bilateral cooperation and exchanges.
Chiu praised the ECCC’s efforts to advance mutual cultural understanding, citing a special session held by the council at the Taipei International Book Exhibition earlier this year. It also staged various activities such as a film festival and an event introducing Hong Kong culture in Taiwan, as well as organizing a visit to Hong Kong for art and architecture exchanges, he said, adding that such work has laid a solid foundation for future cultural cooperation.
In response, ECCC CEO Cheryl Lai expressed her hope of taking the bilateral relationship from strength to strength. To enhance interaction, other cultural committee members recommended expanding exchanges in areas such as architecture and music and inviting people from Hong Kong to visit or attend seminars in Taiwan.
