Visit of the Foreign Minister of the Republic of China (Taiwan): developing cooperation in the healthcare sector
22/10/2014

Last Monday, 20 October, the Foreign Minister of the Republic of China (Taiwan), David Yung-Lo Lin, visiting Rome for the beatification of Paul VI, was received in the Magistral Palace by the Sovereign Order of Malta’s Receiver of the Common Treasure, János Esterhazy de Galantha.

During the talks the humanitarian commitment of the two governments in Africa, South America and Asia was discussed as well as the development of a joint cooperation in the healthcare sector. This process had been launched during the visit of the Sovereign Order of Malta’s delegation to Taipei in 2012 and would further strengthen the good relations between the Order and the Republic of China (Taiwan).

The fruitful relations have been also encouraged by the recent cooperation between the Ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the Order of Malta’s Salvadorian Association and by the precious support for social activities provided to the Order’s diplomatic mission in Bulgaria.
