Director General David Cheng-Wei Wu and his family, along with the TECO Sydney team, were delighted to attend the New Year Gala Dinner of the Taiwanese community in Sydney, organized by the Association of Overseas Alumni in Australia.
In his remarks, DG Wu highlighted:
- Taiwan’s resilience in 2024, standing firm against challenges and achieving remarkable progress despite threats to the rules-based international order and regional stability.
- A warm welcome to OCAC Director Ms. May Chiang and Council Members Mr. Johnson Hsiung and Ms. Shirley Chen. TECO Sydney remains committed to working with our community to turn Taiwan’s achievements into global opportunities.
- Australia’s role as CPTPP chair in 2025 and the hope for Taiwan’s early accession to strengthen democratic supply chains and complete the CPTPP.
- Gratitude to NSW Parliament for passing PMB No. 1414, countering China’s misinterpretation of UNGA Resolution 2758—the first and only state legislature globally to do so.
- The need for Taiwan and Australia to deepen cooperation and exchange ideas, talent, technology, and social initiatives for regional peace and prosperity.
Leaders in the NSW Parliament, including Rod Roberts MLC, Dr. Hugh McDermott MP, Jacqui Munro MLC, and Tania Mihailuk MLC, along with Cr Alex Yang from Burwood Council, attended the gala dinner to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
In their remarks, they praised Taiwan’s democratic and economic achievements and expressed hopes for a stronger and more dynamic TW-AU relationship in all aspects in the Year of the Snake!
