Meeting with a group of Canadian parliamentarians, South Korea Yubao "building a nest to attract phoenixes": hoping to expand investment in AI and drones in Taiwan

After leading a delegation of parliamentarians to meet with President Lai Ching-te a few days ago, Scott Rokin, president of the Canadian Taiwan Parliamentarians Friendship Association, led a team to the Legislative Yuan to meet and communicate with Legislative President Han Kuo-yu and cross-party legislators from both the government and the opposition. Han Kuo-yu said that Canada is not only "very beautiful, very friendly, and very potential," but also the fourth largest country for students studying in Taiwan. He also cited TSMC's profits in the United States as an example. He hopes that Canada will expand its investment in China and welcomes Canadian business to invest in our AI and drone industries.

Legislative President Han Kuo-yu Jin (15) led the Kuomintang caucus representative legislator Chen Jinghui, the Democratic Progressive Party caucus representative legislator Fan Yun, and the People's Party caucus representative legislator Xu Zhongxin to receive a group of Canadian parliamentarians led by Judy Sgro, president of the Canadian Taiwan Parliamentarians Friendship Association, and gave a public speech before the exchange.

Han Kuo-yu first used the three "mosts" to praise Canada as the "most beautiful, friendliest and most potential country", and then introduced the three legislators representing the ruling and opposition parties in sequence. He pointed out that among the 113 legislative seats in our country's Legislative Yuan, the three parties respectively occupy 54, 51 and 8 seats. "This means that we are often in a state of internal instability." There will be quarrels when internal opinions differ. However, when foreign guests come, the legislators will still show the enthusiasm and hospitality of Taiwanese people and keep smiling to welcome them.

Hanguo-yu said that he was grateful to Senator Scott Scott for coming to Taiwan six times and speaking out for Taiwan in the Canadian Parliament for a long time. Canada is the fourth largest country for overseas students in Taiwan. He further used the metaphor of "building a nest to attract phoenixes" to Canada-Taiwan bilateral investment, emphasizing Taiwan's dominance in semiconductor and wafer foundry. Globally, TSMC's factory in Arizona, USA, "has begun to gradually make profits." If Canada hopes that Taiwan will invest there, it welcomes Canada to attract investment to us. We also hope that Canada will invest in our AI, drone and robot industries to promote healthy bilateral development.

Scott Scorow said that parliamentary exchanges are the most important part of international interaction, and the "Canada-Taiwan Parliamentary Friendship Group" established by the two countries is an important platform for the two countries to continue dialogue in the face of changes in governments and regimes, promoting understanding, cooperation and friendship between the two peoples. She emphasized that although Taiwan and Canada are far apart, they both share values ​​such as democracy, rule of law, and human rights; and affirmed the role of the Legislative Yuan in Taiwan's democratic system, as well as the maturity and diversity of voices in the democratic society.

Scott emphasized that democratic exchanges between Canada and Taiwan have been frequent and have been going on for many years, and now there are more opportunities for economic cooperation. She bluntly said that as global democratic institutions face increasing pressure and expectations, members of Congress from various countries must strengthen connections and share good governance methods. She hopes that the two countries will open their doors to each other and lead each other's peoples to continue to grow.
