It will feature discussion on the six themes of economic and trade issues, human resources, technological innovation, nongovernmental organization engagement, think tank cooperation, and youth dialogue at separate sessions during the two days.
A key feature of the forum will be the “New Southbound” exhibit, which will showcase the results of Taiwan’s initiatives related to Southeast Asia over the past under the government’s New Southbound Policy. [FULL STORY]
