Foreign Minister Joseph Wu says he is planning to invite foreign diplomats and
representatives stationed in Taiwan to visit the eastern city of Hualien. Wu was speaking Monday.
Hualien’s tourism industry has seen a slump since a 6.0 earthquake that struck in February. The earthquake left 17 dead and 291 injured.
Wu said many diplomats stationed in Taiwan have never been to Hualien before. He said the invitations will help them gain a better understanding of Taiwan while helping the local tourism industry.
Wu just assumed his position as foreign minister a week ago. Wu says he will make an all-out effort for Taiwan’s diplomacy. He also says he will work to become familiar with his duties step by step. [FULL STORY]
