Taiwan in Australia Amb. Douglas Yu-Tien Hsu and Taiwan in Sydney Director General David Cheng-Wei Wu were pleased to be invited by Australia-Taiwan Business Council Limited (ATBC)President John Toigo and CEO Ching-Mei Maddock to its 2025 Annual General Meeting Business Luncheon, catching up and reconnecting with Australian counterparts, business leaders and think tank experts.
In his remarks, Amb. Hsu highlighted that Taiwan’s strengths in the semiconductor and AI industries make it a natural partner to support AU’s “Future Made in Australia” policy. This partnership adds new momentum into supply chain integration, not only between TW and AU, but across the broader region. He emphasized that the CPTPP serves as the best platform to facilitate such cooperation.
Amb. Hsu thanked the ATBC and #ROCABC/CIECA for including TW’s CPTPP application on the agenda for the 38th Joint Conference in Taipei on Aug 21. He expressed the hope that AU would evaluate TW’s bid based on its economic performance and merits, free from external pressure, and that AU, as the current CPTPP chair, would play a constructive role in moving the initiative forward.
We sincerely thank the Hon. Anoulack Chanthivong MP for his compelling keynote speech. He strongly acknowledged the achievements in TW–AU trade, economic, and scientific collaboration, as well as the great potential for future partnership. He underscored that trade is not a zero-sum game and reaffirmed the NSW Government’s commitment to open and diversified trade principles.
We look forward to seeing TW and AU work hand in hand to expand markets and grow together.
