A reception marking the inauguration of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) in Mumbai and celebrating the National Day was held on the evening of October 16. The event was cohosted by Ambassador Baushuan Ger, Representative of the TECC in India, and Director General Chang Chun-yu of the TECC in Mumbai. More than 100 guests attended and expressed congratulations, including former Indian parliamentarian Sujeet Kumar, representatives of various sectors, and members of the local consular corps.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung delivered a prerecorded address, noting that bilateral relations had seen remarkable growth since Taiwan and India established representative offices in each other’s countries in 1995. He pointed out that the inauguration of the TECC in Mumbai reflected the successful alignment of Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy and India’s Act East Policy. He also expressed the hope that the two countries would further deepen cooperation in such areas as the economy, trade, investment, technology, culture, and education.
The TECC in Mumbai is the third Taiwan overseas mission to be established in India. It will serve as a bridge between Taiwan and western India and provide visa, document certification, emergency assistance, and other services to business and leisure travelers for the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Goa, as well as the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. It will coordinate closely with the TECC in India and the TECC in Chennai to foster mutually beneficial bilateral relations and shared prosperity with India. (E)
