Delegation

Delegation leader William Chuang expressed his enthusiasm for bringing Taiwanese tourists from New York.

He noted that over 1 million Taiwanese live in the United States and Canada and around 250,000 reside in New York.

The delegation’s agenda includes a visit to the Colonial City, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, as well as to the tourism destinations Punta Cana and La Romana (east).

The Dominican Republic is one of the ever-fewer countries that maintains diplomatic ties with Taiwan, which China considers a rogue province.
