The International Workshop on Combating Human Trafficking, organised by Taiwan’s Ministry of the Interior, took place in Taipei City from 25-26 July. In his opening remarks, Taiwan Vice President Chen Chien-jen reaffirmed the country is willing and able to work with like-minded partners around the world to combat human trafficking and ensure the well-being and safety for all. The VP stressed that Taiwan’s achievements in this regard are best evidenced by its 10 consecutive years of Tier 1 status in the Trafficking in Persons Report by the US Department of State. Over 250 experts and officials from nearly 40 countries participated in the two-day event, including Head of Modern Slavery Prevention at the UK Home Office Mr Michael Drew. The UK official was a speaker at the forum "How governments and businesses can work together to tackle modern slavery in supply chain."
