(Bandar Seri Begawan, 24th) In celebration of the Eid holiday, the Taiwan Representative Office in Brunei organized a warm Eid banquet and networking gathering, inviting members of the media, representatives from the Brunei Taiwan Business Association, and the Alumni Association of Taiwan Graduates. The atmosphere on site was lively and harmonious, showcasing the deep ties between the peoples of Taiwan and Brunei.
The Taiwan Representative to Brunei, Hsiao Sheng-chung, reflected on the strong partnership in 2025 with the Taiwan Business Association and Alumni Association, during which many representative activities were jointly promoted, including health and medical seminars, food festivals, Mid-Autumn musical and cultural activities, as well as table tennis friendship matches, all yielding fruitful results. Since the implementation of mutual visa exemption between Taiwan and Brunei, people-to-people exchanges have significantly increased, interactions at the grassroots level have continued to intensify and reached new heights, and friendly bilateral relations have accumulated and transformed into concrete results in exchanges.
Representative Hsiao discussed plans for 2026, noting that as early as February this year, a cross-cultural calligraphy exchange event was held to promote artistic and cultural interaction; in the future, a screening of the documentary 'Mountain Makers' will be launched, using film to present the development history of Taiwan's semiconductor industry, leading the audience to a deeper understanding of how Taiwan has nurtured world-class technological capabilities, exemplified by TSMC. The event will be complemented by Taiwanese specialty agricultural products, combining technology and the humanities, industry and everyday life, offering participants a multifaceted experience of Taiwan's innovative energy. In addition, the renowned Taiwanese band Rose Murr will be invited to Brunei for their first overseas performance, which, through their delicate and moving style, will deepen cultural connections and emotional exchanges among the public.
For the second half of the year, the representative office is planning food and cultural promotion events, and will invite a famous Taiwanese university orchestra to perform in Brunei, adding another highlight to Taiwan-Brunei exchanges. Exciting activities are expected, so stay tuned.
In terms of economic and trade cooperation, Taiwan is actively participating in regional economic integration and hopes that Brunei will support Taiwan's accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), believing that this will help strengthen the momentum of bilateral economic and trade cooperation and create opportunities for mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.
The Taiwan Representative Office in Brunei stated that it will continue to work hand in hand with all sectors to promote multi-faceted economic, cultural, and social exchanges and interactions, and looks forward to the enthusiastic participation of all sectors to further enhance understanding and knowledge of Taiwan.
