Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs Cynthia Kiang and David Müller, her counterpart from the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade, hosted the 9th Taiwan-Czechia Economic and Technological Consultations Oct. 5 in Prague.

In response, Müller said that Czechia’s top talent in AI and software complements Taiwan’s exceptional hardware manufacturing ecosystem. He added that he hoped the two sides could expand cooperation in AI and the semiconductor sector.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs said that representatives from both countries exchanged views on topics covering key areas including biotechnology and information communications technology, adding that Czechia expressed an intention to prioritize Taiwan for collaboration in the development of smart cities.
In addition to the meetings, Kiang and Müller visited MSV International Industrial Fair held Oct. 6-9 in Brno. The deputy minister also explored opportunities to enhance pharmaceutical supply chain resilience at Masaryk University Faculty of Pharmacy.
