AmCham Taipei Applauds Dr. Chen Mei-lin 台北市美國商會感謝甫卸任的國發會主委陳美伶

AmCham Taipei applauds efforts of Dr. Chen Mei-lin in improving Taiwan’s investment environment

The American Chamber of Commerce in Taipei would like to acknowledge the contribution made to Taiwan’s investment environment by Dr. Chen Mei-Ling, and thank her for her leadership over the past two years as the Minister of National Development Council.

During her time as Minister, Dr. Chen has been integral to the important achievements we have made together, particularly the implementation of the Patent Linkage system, amendments to the Labor Standards Act, and improvement of Taiwan’s IPR protection. It is our great pleasure on behalf of our member companies to thank Dr. Chen for her dedication and commitment to improving and modernizing Taiwan’s regulatory environment.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shuttered economies around the globe. As AmCham Taipei and Taiwan have faced hard times together before, we have every confidence that once again, we will rise to the challenge and thrive during these testing times. AmCham Taipei looks forward to continuing to work with National Development Council Minister Kung Ming-hsin to make Taiwan one of the best investment destinations in the world.

AmCham Taipei Applauds U.S. Senate Passage of S. 249

The American Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (AmCham Taipei) applauds the U.S. Senate for passage of S. 249, calling for the Secretary of State to develop a strategy for Taiwan to regain observer status in the World Health Organization. AmCham Taipei urges the House of Representatives to pass a companion bill in order to fully cement U.S. Congress’ support for Taiwan’s participation in the WHO.

The world is now faced with unprecedented challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Responding to these challenges therefore necessitates the collective efforts of every member of the international community. As the World Health Organization, the WHO’s responsibility should be to cover the healthcare interests of every part of the globe.

Taiwan’s success in containing COVID-19 is a testament to its excellent healthcare system and disease control capabilities. In addition, Taiwan has a long-standing commitment to global health security, investing over US$6 billion in international aid programs since 1996, according to recently passed Senate bill. Taiwan’s dedication to these efforts over the years proves its qualifications to be an able and willing participant in the WHO.
AmCham Taipei supports Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the WHO. We stand strong with the people of Taiwan, who for decades have provided a safe, stable, and sustainable environment for international business, positively impacting our more than 500 member companies.

Please note AmCham Taipei’s recent editorial: “Reform, Don’t Undermine, the WHO.
