Photo: CNAChiayi County Commissioner Weng Chang-liang (翁章梁) welcomed the delegation and said he hoped the visit would help expand market opportunities for Taiwanese drone makers in the EU. Both sides can benefit from each other’s expertise and Taiwan should continue to explore opportunities for deeper cooperation, Weng said. The Chiayi County Economic Development Department said that the center was established as part of a central government program to develop the local drone industry, positioning the county as a national hub for research and development, and enabling on-site testing. The department said that a drone park planned by the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology in Minsyong Township (民雄) would complete the county’s manufacturing capabilities and complement the center’s research functions. It is unclear whether the legislation would advance in the US Senate, where there is broad bipartisan support for Taiwan, the report said.
