NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (December 21, 2021) — The people of Nevis have the opportunity to view a wide range of products offered by businesses in Taiwan, thanks to an ongoing three-day Taiwan Expo in St. Kitts and Nevis, at the Malcolm Guishard Recreational Park at Pinney’s. The event, hosted by the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in St. Kitts and Nevis, was launched on December 19 and concludes on December 22.
Mr. Damien I-Ching Liu, Third Secretary at the embassy, said on December 20 that the exposition showcases many Taiwan companies and their products across diverse sectors including technology, medical equipment, food and beverage, sports equipment, hardware and tools, and more. “This is not only a trade show but also we are introducing bilateral cooperation projects in many diverse fields including public health, the recycling system, smart agriculture and the construction and completion of Pinney’s Beach Park which was launched yesterday on the 19th December,” he explained.
The embassy hired a mix of 11 students from the Nevis Sixth Form and recent graduates who are interested in business. Their role in the Taiwan Expo was to represent Taiwanese companies who are participating but cannot attend in person due to pandemic restrictions. Mr. Liu noted the students “were all very excited to partake in this exhibition to have a great internship in terms of business practices and exchange with Taiwan.”
