New Delhi, October 31
A Minister from Taiwan will visit India later this week for a meeting on economic issues with his Indian counterparts.
Taiwan’s Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs Chen Chern-Chyi will take part in the annual India-Taiwan minister-level meeting which hasn’t taken place for two years because of the Covid pandemic. The meeting follows an unannounced visit by a Deputy Minister from Taiwan recently.
Chen will lead a delegation of Taiwanese investors, including IT companies, at a time when India is wooing its companies to set up semiconductor manufacturing facilities in India. India is also trying to become a part of the “Chip 4” alliance that is taking shape among Taiwan, the US, South Korea and Japan.
Chen will also address the India-Taiwan Industrial Collaboration Summit organised by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI). India does not recognise Taiwan as a country but allowed the setting up of India-Taipei Association.
