The Representative of Taiwan in Switzerland Dr. David W. F. Huang and U.S. Ambassador Scott C. Miller will deliver opening remarks. Dr. Roy Chun Lee, the Representative of Taiwan to the European Union, will provide the keynote address. There will be two panel discussions on “Geopolitical risk, economic coercion and the robustness of supply chains” and “Off-shoring, friend-shoring and economic resilience.” Swiss officials and members of parliament will also join the event.
The Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) was founded through a memorandum signed by the United States and Taiwan on June 1, 2015, and currently includes Japan and Australia. It aims to utilize Taiwan’s strengths and expertise to address global issues of mutual concern. The GCTF has led to 70 workshops that addressed myriad topics ranging from public health to law enforcement cooperation, women’s empowerment, energy efficiency, e-commerce, cybersecurity, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and media literacy.
