The Presidential Office says businessman and senior presidential advisor Lin
Hsin-i will attend November's APEC summit in Peru as President Lai Ching-te's
official envoy.

According to the Presidential Office, Lai asked Lin to attend the meeting in
the hope he will use his "professional and abundant experience to fully
expound the meaning of the government's policies" and "effectively increase
Taiwan's visibility and importance" in Lima.

The office also says the trip will be aimed at promoting cooperation on
"green digital transformations, digital innovation, digital health, small and
medium-sized enterprise growth, women's economic empowerment, inclusive
growth, and food security."

Lin previously attended three APEC meetings during the administration of
President Chen Shui-bian on behalf of Taiwan, in Brunei in 2000, in China in
2001, and in South Korea in 2005.

He is currently chairman of Taiwania Capital Management Corporation and a
senior presidential advisor.

Lin served as economics minister between 2000 and 2002 and vice premier
between 2002 and 2004.
