A delegation comprised of Taoyuan City Government officials, China Airlines Chairman Ho Nuan-hsuan, and Taoyuan International Airport Corporation President and CEO Shiau Deng-ke, led by Taoyuan Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan, visited the United States from July 4 to July 15 on the “2017 Taoyuan City Trade Delegation to the West Coast USA.”

He also explained the importance of Taiwan’s “Asia Silicon Valley Development Plan” – one of Taiwan’s key industrial innovation initiatives – for promoting scientific and technological cooperation between Taiwan and the United States.
