The cheque was presented by Taiwan Foreign Minister Dr. Jau-shieh Joseph Wu to Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves, at a ceremony at Cabinet Room, the Foreign Minister’s two-day official visit to the island.
During the official two day visit, Foreign Minister Wu will tour several places of interest in St Vincent and the Grenadines, and will sign a Memorandum of Understanding for the procurement of vehicles to assist the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force.
This will be followed by a tour of the terminal building at the Argyle International Airport, which was funded by the Government of the Republic of China on Taiwan.
