Chair Cheng met today with Ninad Deshpande, Director General of the India Taipei Association, who has recently marked one month in office. During the meeting, the two exchanged views on Taiwan–India bilateral cooperation and future directions. Chair Cheng noted that in recent years, many Taiwanese industries have expanded their investment presence in India, which reflects the growing potential for deeper cooperation. She also shared that one of KMT’s key priorities is maintaining cross-strait peace and regional stability, which provides a conducive environment for economic development and international cooperation.
During the discussion, Director General Deshpande referred to the MOU signed by Taiwan and India in February 2024 and expressed his hope to work with the Kuomintang to help advance its implementation.
