Introduction Since being aware of the importance of the ASEAN and South Asian communities, setting up a "New Southbound Policy" taking Southeast Asia as the focus of the Taipei government to step by step integrate into Asia, to redefine ROC-Taiwan's position and role in the development of Asia, in which Vietnam is considered as an important bridge to help ROC-Taiwan move closer to ASEAN. From the early years of the twenty-first century up to now, the relationship between ROC-Taiwan and Vietnam has developed rapidly based on the awareness and assessment of each country‟s foreign policy in associationIJSER with the regional and international situation. Especially in the context of today's globalization and modernization along with China's economic rise, the East Sea issue, US-China competition in the Asia-Pacific region, already created opportunities and challenges for the cooperation between ROC-Taiwan and Vietnam. Efforts to strengthen the cooperative relations with Vietnam partly help ROC- Taiwan's economy gradually reduce its reliance on mainland China, besides tightening relations with Asian countries. Vietnam may be the right choice for the ROC-Taiwan‟s policy towards the South and integration into Asia. The outstanding achievements in the relationship between ROC-Taiwan and Vietnam will be the driving 3 IJSER © 2020 http://www.ijser.org International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research ISSN 2229-5518 5 force for the future prospects between the two sides, therefore, to investigate Vietnam‟s position in ROC-Taiwan‟s new South policy and opportunities as well as strategies for the Vietnamese businesses is the significant research at the current time. Objectives of the research The current research aims to achieve the systematic report of the relationship between ROC-Taiwan and Vietnam, especially focusing on Asian Integration Policy and the New Southbound Policy of ROC- Taiwan to find the position of Vietnam in these policies, thereby discovering the opportunities and strategies for the Vietnamese businesses, contribute to the development of Vietnam and the relationship between the two sides. Research methodology To achieveIJSER the research objectives, this research will be undertaken via interviews and acquire primary source document materials. A range of methods include library research and field research will be used to gather data, either primary or secondary source. Library research uses relevant data from written sources such as books, journals, published papers, newspapers, magazines, official documents, government reports, research reports, and proceedings of board meetings. Conducted from the first month of the research period, library research will take place in governmental offices, research institutions, universities, and companies, such as Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS) at the Institute of International Relations (IIR), National Chengchi University, Taiwan's commercial 4 IJSER © 2020 http://www.ijser.org International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research ISSN 2229-5518 6 offices. Its outcomes will be combined with field of research through consultation, discussion, and interviews with the government officers, researchers, and academician as well as CEOs of some big companies. This activity aims to extract data from literature which is planned to be conducted for two months after library research. The result of the discussion will be synthesized and confronted with written sources in order to find synergy and contradiction of ideas. It needs to be conducted to provide further explanation or interpretation of the data gathered from library research. It will be then systematized based on inductive logic. After collecting data, the researcher will comprehensively analyze all data with a focus on comparison between ROC-Taiwan and Vietnam. This comparative analysis will not only examine similarities and differences, but also formulate the strategies for the Vietnamese businesses based on the strengthening areas of each country. The final report is planned to be written during the last 2IJSER months of the research period allowed. To complete the report, an evaluation from some experts will be needed in the previous month. Finally the research will be completely finished after the report will have been revised through the feedbacks from the evaluators. II. Structure of the research To achieve the objectives of the research, the outline is as follows: Chapter 1: ROC-Taiwan and Vietnam relation seen from Asian integration policy. 5 IJSER © 2020 http://www.ijser.org International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research ISSN 2229-5518 7 Chapter 2: Vietnam‟s position in ROC-Taiwan‟s New Southbound Policy. Chapter 3: Strategies for the Vietnamese business through ROC- Taiwan‟s New Southbound Policy. IJSER 6 IJSER © 2020 http://www.ijser.org International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research ISSN 2229-5518 8 Chapter 1: ROC-Taiwan and Vietnam relation seen from Asian Integration Policy The policy go to the South to strengthen relation, exchange and cooperate in ROC-Taiwan's economic, commercial, cultural, educational and human resource fields with ASEAN member states in a global context is happening strongly. ROC-Taiwan considers Vietnam is one of the key markets that need to be exploited and occupied in the "Southern Policy". The transformation of economic models and especially foreign affair has become a very favorable factor for promoting Taiwan's cooperation with Vietnam in many fields starting from the 90s of the twentieth century. Although Vietnam and ROC-Taiwan are far apart geographically, there is a close relationship between the two sides, similar in history and culture. TheIJSER same countries that have been through a long struggle against foreign invaders, have the same starting point when they both came from an outdated agricultural economy, low living standards and at the same time suffered more or less influence of Confucian culture, these factors are the basis and foundation for the development of cooperative relations between the two countries in particular and with other Asian countries in general. In a concerted effort to expand ROC-Taiwan's presence across the Indo-Pacific, President Tsai Ing-wen has introduced the New Southbound Policy (NSP) to strengthen Taipei's relationships with the 10 countries of ASEAN, 6 states in South Asia (India, Pakistan, 7 IJSER © 2020 http://www.ijser.org International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research ISSN 2229-5518 9 Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan), Australia, and Newzealand. NSP target countries: Asean + South Asia + Australia + Newzealand Therefore, to understand more about the context in which ROC- Taiwan‟s New Southbound Policy has been implemented, it is better to investigate the integration policy/situation of the cooperation among the Asean countries and the connection between Asean and South Asia to help you to fully understand the context. 1.1. Introduction about the Asean Integration Policy The forerunner of ASEAN is an organization called the Association of Southeast Asia, commonly referred to as ASA. ASA is an alliance established in 1961 including the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand. On August 8, 1967, when Foreign Ministers of 5 countries - Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand - met at theIJSER Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand in Bangkok to issue the ASEAN Declaration, commonly known as the Bangkok Declaration to join ASA along with Indonesia and Singapore

  • Evaluation of Cadmium Concentrations in the Surface Sediments of Salt River Estuary, Taiwan
    The Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy and the Environment 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan Evaluation of Cadmium Concentrations in the Surface Sediments of Salt River Estuary, Taiwan Chiu-Wen Chen, Chih-Feng Chen, Cheng-Di Dong National Kaohsiung Marine University, Taiwan 0283 The Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy & the Environment 2013 Official Conference Proceedings 2013 Abstract Major objectives of this study are to evaluation the pollution and potential ecological risk of cadmium (Cd) in the sediments of Salt River estuary, Taiwan. Nine monitoring stations were installed near the estuary of Salt River to collect sediment samples for analyzing Cd. Results of laboratory analyses show that contents of Cd in the sediments are between 0.25 and 2.54 mg/kg with an average of 1.05±0.85 mg/kg. The spatial distribution of Cd reveals that the Cd concentration is relatively high near the river mouth, and gradually diminishes toward the harbor region. This indicates that upstream industrial and municipal wastewater discharges along the river bank are major sources of pollution. Results from the enrichment factor analysis imply that the sediments can be characterized as minor to severe degree of Cd enrichment. Results of geo-accumulation index analysis indicate that the sediments can be characterized as moderate degree of Cd accumulation. Results of potential ecological risk index indicate that the sediments at Salt River estuary have high to serious ecological potential risk. Keywords: Cadmium, Ecological Risk, Enrichment Factor, Geo-accumulation Index, Sediment. iafor The International Academic Forum www.iafor.org 247 The Asian Conference on Sustainability, Energy and the Environment 2013 Official Conference Proceedings Osaka, Japan 1.

  • Understanding the Taiwan Strait Issue
    34 UNDERSTANDING THE TAIWAN STRAIT ISSUE Edgardo E. Dagdag* During an interview with Deutsche Welle (Voice of Germany) radio station on July 9, 1999, then President Lee Tenghui ofthe Republic of China (ROC) made some statements that exacerbated the already existing tense relations between his country (now increasingly known internationally as Taiwan) and China. In the interview, former President Lee gave the following views on the ROC and on its "special" relations with Cllina: 1 1. "The 1991 constitutional amendments have placed cross-strait relations as a state-to-state relationship or at least a special state­ to-state relationship, rather than an external relationship between a legitimate government and a renegade group, or between a central government and a local government. Thus, the Beijing authorities' characterization of ROC as a 'renegade province' is historically and legally untrue." 2. " ... the Republic of China has been a sovereign state since it wasfoundedin 1912. Moreover, in 1991,amendmentstothe Constitution placed cross-strait relations as a special state-to­ state relationship. Consequently, there is no need to declare independence." 3. " ... ROC is neither Hongkong nor Macau. Hongkong and Macau are colonies, but the ROC is a sovereign, independent state." At first glance, these statements and the subsequent clarifications made by key ROC officials, like Chi Su, Chairman ofthe Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) 2 and Koo Chen-fu, Chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF), 3 are outright *Edgardo E. Dagdag is an Associate Professor at the Asian Center, University of the Philippines.
