EDITORIAL: Trade trips need concrete resultsA Taiwanese trade delegation visiting Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Lithuania has touted its dazzling achievements, but sustaining the momentum of mutual interest requires solid plans. Following their trip, the members of the trade delegation should assess whether they understand the needs of the countries they visited and how to foster future cooperation. If that is true, TSMC might bring new suppliers to the region, as Saxony is close to Germany’s borders with the Czech Republic and Poland. However, the issue seems to have been shelved, and the airline played no role in the Taiwanese trade delegation’s trip. Following the Czech delegation’s visit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also listed 22 achievements of bilateral interactions, including several MOUs that were signed.
