Taiwan to build new India officeBy Liu Tzu-hsuan / Staff reporterTaiwan aims to establish a Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in Mumbai by the end of the year to further deepen exchanges and cooperation with India, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday. The center would be the third Taiwanese office in India, following the opening of one in New Delhi in 1995 and one in Chennai in 2012, the ministry said in a news release. As India boasts an enormous market and considerable business opportunities, the center could help further expand trade and investment opportunities between Taiwan and India, the ministry said. Separately, Taiwan is still negotiating with Fiji to restore the Taipei Trade Office in Fiji to its former name, the Trade Mission of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the Republic of Fiji, Chen said. Taiwan hopes Fiji could honor its original note verbal to allow the name change, Chen said.
