Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung met with Cabinet-level National Science and Technology Council Minister Wu Cheng-wen June 25 in Taipei City to discuss interagency cooperation on technology diplomacy, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The MOFA’s Diplomatic Allies Prosperity Project involves eight flagship programs: new energy and carbon rights collaboration, trusted internet networks and digital governance, smart agriculture, smart medicine, smart science park overseas demonstration projects, semiconductor supply chain resilience, sovereign artificial intelligence, and sustainable tourism, the ministry said.
At the meeting, Lin and Wu reached an agreement that the NSTC would assist the MOFA with the establishment of operational systems in specific smart technological parks overseas, with the first such mechanism set to be implemented at the Taiwan-Paraguay Smart Technology Park in Minga Guazú.
As for personnel cultivation, the council will link its International Internship Pilot Program with the ministry’s eight flagship projects to offer outstanding students from allied nations and like-minded countries internship opportunities in order to grow the high-tech talent pool.
In recent years the NSTC has been actively promoting global technological cooperation, signing five science and technology agreements between Taiwan and Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the U.S., the ministry said. By working together with the NSTC and other relevant agencies, the MOFA aims to stimulate global collaboration in emerging technologies. (POC-E)
