And,

Saint Lucia's Ambassador to Taiwan Robert Kennedy Lewis has donated 15 books
to the National Central Library.

Lewis says the books reflect the Caribbean country's culture and the donation
is aimed at showcasing "cultural diplomacy."

Lewis says the donation was made in part to honor an agreement St. Lucia had
with Taiwan's three other English-speaking Caribbean allies - Belize, St.
Kits and Nevis, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines - which have all fulfilled
the pledge.

Speaking at an event at the National Central Library on Taipei, Lewis said by
donating the books, he hopes they will help Taiwanese people better
understand St. Lucian culture and social life, and the aspirations and
achievements of the St. Lucian people.

The book donation event was attended by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs
Alexander Yu.

And he thanked the Embassy of St. Lucia for its generosity and said the
interactions with books are precious in an age when the public's preferred
format for reading has shifted to e-books.
