After the media launch of Taiwan Expo 2025 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay, members of the press had the chance to interview Mr. James C. F. Huang, Chairman of the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA). What unfolded was more than just a Q&A—it was a glimpse into how Taiwan envisions a deeper, smarter, and greener future alongside the Philippines.
The Chairman went on to stress that Taiwan Expo is not merely a showcase,it’s a starting point. Visitors can expect to experience innovations in green energy, artificial intelligence, remote medical services, and agriculture solutions, all of which hold enormous potential for Filipino industries and communities. “This is just the beginning of the partnership,” Huang noted, promising that Taiwan will return with even more business and investment delegations in the future.
What makes this collaboration especially compelling is the deep human connection between the two countries. With over 120,000 Filipinos currently living and working in Taiwan contributing to its industries, economy, and families, Huang described the Philippines as Taiwan’s closest neighbor and best partner in Southeast Asia. The proximity, with flights taking just an hour and 20 minutes, makes the bond even more practical and promising.
He also underscored the geopolitical and economic shifts that have placed the Philippines in a stronger position within the global supply chain. With its massive market of more than 110 million people and growing importance in regional trade, the Philippines is seen as a vital partner for Taiwan’s future strategies.
But beyond numbers and markets, Huang returned to what matters most: relationships. “What is more important is not just the volume of business, but the foundations we build together,” he explained. It’s about fostering trust, collaboration, and long-term partnerships the kind that create lasting impact far beyond trade statistics.
For Filipinos looking for opportunities whether in business, innovation, or cultural exchange,Taiwan Expo 2025 is more than just an event. It’s a chance to be part of a movement where two nations, already tied by history and people, commit to shaping a smarter, greener, and more connected future.
Together, we are shaping tomorrow.
