Deputy Foreign Minister Chen Ming-chi hosted a reception for a delegation of nine think tank researchers from Guatemala Nov. 10 in Taipei City to exchange views on bilateral relations, democratic development and regional security.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chen said that Taiwan is working with the Central American ally to construct a cancer hospital, modernize the airport in the capital city and promote training for semiconductor professionals, among other initiatives, in line with the government’s policy of integrated diplomacy and the Diplomatic Allies Prosperity Project.
Chen added that Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung recently led a trade delegation to Guatemala to create more investment and trade cooperation opportunities, demonstrating that Taiwan is a trusted and trustworthy partner.
Through expanded exchanges during the delegation’s Nov. 8-12 stay, the deputy minister expected that the scholars would better understand the coercion and security challenges faced by Taiwan, and provide policy recommendations to the Guatemalan government to support Taiwan after returning home.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation, María Isabel Carrascosa Coll praised the robust friendship between the two allies as a reflection of a bond spanning more than 90 years. She said this fact-finding trip will give the delegates insights into Taiwan’s development experience, policymaking, education, research, innovation and entrepreneurship, and help them use what they learn in Taiwan to improve employment and the overall well-being of the Guatemalan people.
