Representative to the EU and Belgium Tsai Ming-yen (蔡明彥) yesterday called for progress on a Taiwan-EU bilateral investment agreement (BIA) as he marked the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Schengen visa waiver for Taiwanese as his office released a short video on YouTube that highlighted achievements in the Taiwan-EU relationship.
Tsai thanked all those in the EU who have worked to deepen Taiwan-EU ties, and who have pushed leaders of democracies to support Taiwan’s meaningful participation in international organizations.
