Taiwan FM Discuss Belizean Students Staying Abroad After Studies

We took the opportunity to speak with Taiwan’s foreign minister about the growing trend of Belizean students choosing to remain in Taiwan after finishing their studies. We inquired whether there are any initiatives in place to motivate these students to return to Belize and contribute to their homeland’s development. Here’s what he had to say.

 

Dr. Chai-Lung UN, Foreign Minister, Taiwan

“Your question confirm that education is important for tailored cultivation and social mobility. So the fellowship recipient from Belize, many of them stay in Taiwan and make contributions to our society. We are thankful for that, but we will also encourage Belizean people in Taiwan to finish form Taiwan and return to their home country to make more contributions. We will work with your government in providing more incentives to have them start their business in Belize. We will also encourage, our government has a new policy encouraging people to go abroad and participate in international affairs. We chose Belize as a good destination for Taiwanese young people to work here and more relationships with your young people. We are ready to discuss the design of this project to attract more Belizean people who are now in Taiwan can go back to their home country to make more contribution in tourism, business, agriculture and many more areas.”
