From 20-21 June, Representative Lin led a delegation to Cornwall to boost cooperation between Taiwan and the UK. During the visit, Representative Lin met with parliamentarians Scott Mann MP for North Cornwall, Sheryll Murray MP for South East Cornwall, Steve Double MP for St Austell and Newquay and Liberal Democrat peer Lord Teverson as well as the Mayors and Councillors of Cornwall Council and Cornish business representatives, to exchange ideas on boosting bilateral collaboration in renewable energy, smart healthcare and Cornish agricultural exports. Scott Mann MP praised Taiwan as one of the most vibrant democracies in Asia and commented on its potential as a lucrative market for Cornish goods. Representative Lin stressed that many sectors with potential for future bilateral cooperation were successfully identified during the visit.
The delegation also toured the famous local Tintagel Castle to view the construction of a new bridge which was being carried out by a Taiwanese owned company. One of Cornwall's local papers, TheCamelford and Delabole Post, published a report on 4 July highlighting the success of the visit.
