celebratory ceremony and international symposium held in Taipei.

His Excellency Dr. Lin Chia-Lung, Chairman of TaiwanICDF and Minister of

“Taiwan can help, and partners can lead,” Minister Lin said, describing
Taiwan’s foreign assistance model as one founded on partnership and mutual
respect.

China (Taiwan) and Acting Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, His Excellency
Ambassador Donya L. Francis expressed appreciation for TaiwanICDF’s
enduring commitment to improving lives across the globe.

“Today, we celebrate an institution that has consistently demonstrated that
meaningful international cooperation is built not only through financial
assistance, but through investing in people, strengthening institutions, and
creating opportunities for sustainable development,” Ambassador Francis
said.

“The projects undertaken are not simply development initiatives; they are
expressions of mutual respect, shared values, and genuine friendship,” he
added.
Established in 1996, TaiwanICDF is Taiwan’s principal government-funded
foreign assistance agency. Through technical cooperation, humanitarian

assistance, education, and capacity-building initiatives, the organisation
