  • Message from the Representative President
    MESSAGE FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE November has seen a number of promising developments for the Taipei Representative Office in the UK. I have enjoyed meeting and building partnerships with other members of the international community here in London. I was especially pleased to attend this year’s World Travel Market London, during which I had the opportunity to promote Taiwan as a tourist destination at the world’s leading event for the travel industry. This month I shall also have the pleasure of welcoming four delegations from Taiwan; including members of the Mainland Affairs Council and the National Policy Foundation, as well as two science and technology teams. I also look forward to seeing the debut performance of Taiwan’s outstanding dance company, Cloud Gate 2, here in London, which will no doubt impress the audience, and introduce many to Taiwan’s thriving arts and culture industry. With the 85th General Assembly of InterpoI now concluded, I must stress again that Taiwan will continue its bid for future participation in Interpol. It is hoped that political considerations will not persist in hindering the collective security interests of the international community. Representative David Y. L. Lin PRESIDENT TSAI MEETS TAIWAN DELEGATION TO 24TH APEC ECONOMIC LEADERS SUMMIT President Tsai Ing-wen has met with Taiwan’s delegation to the upcoming 24th APEC Economic Leader’s meeting, emphasising the importance of the summit convening in Lima from 19th-20th November.

  • Statement by the Prime Minister of Tuvalu Honourable Willy Telavi at the Opening Ceremony of the Embassy of Tuvalu in the Republic of China (Taiwan)
    STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER OF TUVALU HONOURABLE WILLY TELAVI AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE EMBASSY OF TUVALU IN THE REPUBLIC OF CHINA (TAIWAN) International Trade Building Taiwan International Trade Building (333 Keelung Rd, Sec. 1, Taipei 110, Taiwan, Republic of China) 14th March, 2013 The Honourable David Lin, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan), Honorary Consul-General of Tuvalu in Taiwan – Mr. John Wei-Jyh Chen and family, Members of the Diplomatic Corps, Excellencies, Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Today represents a highly significant historical moment for our two countries. It cements the very strong bond between our two countries which we have shared since we first established diplomatic ties on the 19th September, 1979. We cherish the fact that Tuvalu is the oldest ally for Taiwan in the Pacific region. But our ties are much older than this. Studies of the origins of the Polynesian languages of the Pacific, including Tuvaluan, suggest that they are strongly linked to the Indigenous Peoples of Taiwan. This connection extends back over 5,000 years. So in a way, the establishment of this Embassy is a symbolic homecoming for us. It is also symbolic that this Embassy has been established in the Year of the Snake. I understand that according to ancient Chinese wisdom, a snake in a house is a good omen. I am sure that a new house in the Year of the Snake is also a good omen. If my information is correct, we are actually in the Year of the Water Snake. This is also very symbolic.
