Additionally, a third office for the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) is slated to open in India.
“Through partnerships in investment and technological cooperation, both countries should increase their bilateral trade from the current level of $8 billion to $25 billion,” Industry leaders noted.
Taiwan sells $6 billion and imports barely $2 billion from India out of the $8 billion in bilateral commerce.
In February, Taiwan and India signed a migration and mobility agreement that will allow Indian people to work in a variety of sectors on the self-governing island. This action is thought to be indicative of the two countries’ renewed vigor in their relationship.
