Taiwan nationals in Chennai celebrate 111th National Day

CHENNAI: The Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre in Chennai, Taiwan’s overseas mission in south India, hosted a dinner reception on Thursday to celebrate Taiwan’s 111th National Day.


Speaking at the event, director-general of Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre Ben Wang recounted the recent developments in Taiwan-India relations anticipating ever closer bilateral cooperation to achieve the greatest potential in economic growth for both sides.

He said Taiwan was developing new strategies to kick-start new momentum for post-pandemic economic recovery.

Wang is promoting the establishment of Taiwan cluster in southern India to bolster trade and investment relations. “State governments in the south India have offered enticing incentives to attract foreign investments,” Wang said.
