Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said Sept. 18 that the Muslim community is an

important partner of Taiwan and an indispensable force for promoting the government’s New Southbound Policy.

Muslim citizens and residents serve as a bridge linking the nation with the Islamic world, the president said, adding that she hopes they can continue to help expand mutually beneficial collaboration and exchanges with Muslim-majority countries.

Tsai made the remarks while receiving representatives from Taipei City-based Chinese Muslim Association at the Office of the President. During her address, she congratulated the delegation for successfully concluding the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca earlier this month.    [FULL  STORY]
