China will host this year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. As Taiwan gears up for what will inevitably be an AI-centric forum, President Lai Ching-te held a pre-departure press conference on Thursday where he underscored three major propositions. After 19 years, Acer Group founder, Stan Shih was appointed Taiwan’s envoy to APEC once more. China’s minor aggressions have begun before the conference, prompting the Presidential Office to emphasize that they will speak up against for any unfair treatment.
Acer Group founder, Stan Shih arrives with his wife at the pre-APEC press conference held at the presidential office where President Lai Ching-te relayed his three major propositions.
Lai Ching-te
President
First, as a member of APEC, Taiwan will remain an active participant and contribute to APEC affairs. Second, Taiwan will continue to promote global technology cooperation and innovation exchanges. Third, as geopolitical and supply chain shifts challenge the global economy, Taiwan will continue to be a stable and trustworthy source in the Asia-Pacific.
Having first represented Taiwan at APEC in 2007, Acer’s Stan Shih prepares himself for this great undertaking once more after 19 years.
Stan Shih
Founder of Acer
I am incredibly honored, yet I also understand this great responsibility. AI is this year’s focus at APEC, a field where Taiwan excels. As a core player in the global AI industry, Taiwan will be a stable and trustworthy presence on the international stage.
This year’s APEC will be held in Shenzhen, China. It seems that oppressive tactics are already deployed as Taiwan’s unofficial invite to APEC didn’t address the nation using its name; many believe this was an attempt to belittle the island.
Karen Kuo
Presidential Office Spokesperson
During the conference, if there is any unfair treatment, then we will demand an immediate correction to defend our nation’s rights and interests.
The Presidential Office reiterated the stance and rights of the members. The delegation will represent Taiwan’s semiconductor and AI sectors and underscore their immeasurable value in the global supply chain.
