Dr. Geoffrey Hanley during his first official visit to Taiwan since stepping into his role as Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Education, Youth Empowerment, Social Development, Gender Affairs, Ageing and Disabilities, Ecclesiastical and Faith-Based Affairs, Housing and Human Settlement.

He also encouraged nationals living in Taiwan to bring their education, talents and experience back to their home country.

The encouragement resonated with nationals who were well pleased for the opportunity to engage the Ministers and leaders who preside over branches of government where they are desirous of contributing. 

Students and researchers shared a sentiment on the lack of access to information about the country to which the Minister of Information, Hon. Maynard was able to discuss ideas with them on how to address this issue.

Ambassador H.E. Donya Francis highlighted the significance of these opportunities for close dialogue.

“I am truly grateful that the Deputy Prime Minister Hanley and his delegation requested, not one but two meet-ups with our nationals living in Taiwan,” he said. “These conversations are not just protocol, but they are the keys to information sharing that could further the development of our country.”
