President Lai Ching-te is calling on Acer Group founder and honorary chairman
Stan Shih to convey Taiwan's commitment to collaborating with international
partners on artificial intelligence when he attends the APEC Leaders' Meeting
in China.

Shih was chosen by Lai to be Taiwan's representative to November 18 and 19
meeting in Shenzhen.

Speaking at a news conference at the Presidential Office, Lai asked Shih to
convey three messages at the meeting.

Those message are that Taiwan has always actively participated in APEC
affairs and made contributions ...

.... that Taiwan plays a pivotal role in the global semiconductor supply
chain and is an "indispensable partner" in efforts to promote global
innovation in AI and digital transformation ..

.. and that Taiwan will continue to advance global technological
partnerships, facilitate innovation exchanges and actively build a resilient
and reliable A-I supply chain under the APEC framework.

Describing Shih as an influential business leader with extensive industry
experience, Lai went on to say he's confident the Acer Group founder and
honorary chairman will make substantive contributions at this year's APEC
Leaders' Meeting.
