Taipei, Oct. 24 (CNA) President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) praised overseas compatriots as an extension of 
Taiwan’s national power, and for working to make Taiwan a better country.
Tsai made the comments in an address to the first meeting of the Cabinet-level Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission (OCAC) since she took office and the new government was inaugurated on May 20.
“Taiwan represents the roots of overseas compatriots and they in turn are an extension of Taiwan,” Tsai said as she welcomed OCAC members who returned to Taiwan for the meeting.
The 2016 OCAC congress opened Sunday in Taipei with nearly 200 members from 38 countries in attendance. [FULL STORY]
