The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Taiwan and the Taiwan ICDF Scholarships Certificate awarded 22 scholarships to outstanding students for graduate and undergraduate education in Taiwan.
Fiona Fan, Ambassador of the Republic of China on Taiwan to St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), stated that the Taiwan scholarship programme is more than just academic excellence; it is a bridge that fosters deep-rooted bilateral exchanges and friendships between our peoples,” reaffirming Taiwan’s commitment to strengthening relations with SVG through this and other initiatives.
Ambassador Fan encouraged the students to seize opportunities to study, grow, and contribute to the development of SVG when they returned.
In his speeches, Prime Minister Gonsalves encouraged students to return home after finishing their education, noting that many Taiwanese enterprises attempt to keep them after graduation.
“One disappointment for me is that over 73% of the awardees are female. I would have wanted to see more men take advantage of these possibilities.
