The APEC Leaders Summit will be held on November 20. Affected by the new corona pneumonia epidemic, APEC was held in video mode for the first time since its inception in 1989. President Tsai Ing-wen will announce at 10 o’clock this morning that the founder of TSMC, Zhang Zhongmou, will participate in the Leadership Summit as the leader’s representative. This is also the fourth time that Zhang Zhongmou will be the leader’s representative.
Tsai Ing-wen thanked Zhang Zhongmou for being APEC’s lead representative again. At this APEC meeting, Taiwan once again declared its willingness to make more contributions to global epidemic prevention and also to inform the world about Taiwan’s efforts. The prevention of epidemics is a global problem and there is no country. They can step aside. Taiwan has also donated many materials. I hope the representative conveys that Taiwan is willing to continue to share its experience in preventing epidemics and helping to prevent epidemics worldwide.
Additionally, Tsai Ing-wen also hopes to strengthen its connection with other countries and consolidate Taiwan’s position in the global supply chain. It also continues to strive for cooperation agreements with other countries to deepen Taiwan’s participation in APEC and combine the advantages of each to create a win-win situation.
Zhang Zhongmou said in his speech that he was honored and happy to be a representative again. This time, the theme will be how to control the epidemic and how to develop the economy under the epidemic. The second issue is the outlook after the epidemic. Taiwan has done a very good job in controlling the epidemic. It also makes full use of digital achievements. Therefore, after the epidemic, corporate health is a very important issue. Taiwan has enough experience to share with APEC countries. This time you are fully prepared and can make a great contribution to APEC and win for Taiwan. Be placed.
Zhang Zhongmou’s first appointment as representative leader was during the reign of former President Chen Shui-bian in 2006. After Tsai Ing-wen took office, People First Party Chairman Soong Chuyu was appointed as the leader representative during the first two years. Since 2018, TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou has been re-elected. Tsai Ing-wen sent Zhang Zhongmou to participate for the third time.
Affected by the new corona pneumonia epidemic, APEC canceled or postponed most meetings and events in the first half of the year. As the epidemic is still spreading around the world, this year’s APEC host member Malaysia decided to resume the APEC meeting by video.
Since Taiwan joined APEC in 1991 and became a full member country, it was unable to fully exercise its rights due to opposition from the mainland. The APEC Economic Leaders Meeting in which the leaders of the member countries participated can only be represented by leaders. This year, it will take place by video. President Tsai Ing-wen participated personally, but under pressure from the other side, he finally decided to send representatives of leaders to participate.
