(Bandar Seri Begawan, 3rd) The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Brunei held a “Ink Charm Across the Universe: Celebrating the Lunar New Year” calligraphy exchange event yesterday afternoon at its premises, inviting Taiwan Friendship Associations, overseas Chinese leaders, local organizations, and representatives from Chinese schools to gather together and welcome the Year of the Dragon through the art of calligraphy. The atmosphere was warm and lively, filled with a strong sense of cultural festivity.
Representative Hsiao Sheng-chung of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Brunei stated that over the past year, Taiwan has continued to demonstrate key influence in the global economic and technological landscape, especially in the semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) industries, standing out as an indispensable partner in the international supply chain. These achievements not only highlight the strength of Taiwan’s industries, but also reinforce Taiwan’s image as a reliable international partner.
He expressed hope that through this calligraphy activity and the exchange of brush and ink, Taiwan’s rich cultural heritage and open, inclusive soft power would be displayed. He also wished for guests to deepen their understanding of Taiwan’s diverse society and vibrant lifestyle through relaxed and interactive exchanges.
Looking ahead to the new year, Hsiao Sheng-chung pointed out that the office will continue to promote cultural exchange and pragmatic cooperation as a foundation, deepen Brunei-Taiwan bilateral friendship and economic ties, and looks forward to seeking support and positive understanding from friends in various circles for Taiwan’s application to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), to jointly promote regional economic prosperity and high-quality development.
In addition, the Office specially prepared Ponkan oranges from Fengyuan, Taiwan to be distributed for guests and visitors to enjoy, symbolizing auspicious New Year blessings of “great fortunes and great profit.” This allowed attendees to experience not only calligraphy culture, but also the authentic flavor of a Taiwanese New Year through its特色agricultural products.
