During the event, visitors will find the opportunity to sample high-quality Taiwanese products, get a first-hand introduction to Taiwan’s business mechanism and its advantage industries, and to listen to a series of informative exchanges with experts in mini-seminars to be held.
This is the first exhibition since the two countries established trade and diplomatic relations on 1st July this year. Since then the two countries exchanged representatives and opened their respective embassies in their respective capital cities – Taipei and Hargeisa. The two countries share lofty principles that their respective rivals and political foes show little or none of the democracy, high respect for human rights, and people’s rights to self-determination as well as stamina and resilience that have ensured the two countries’ self-reliant development in many sectors.
