In May 2026, Taiwan welcomed an international media delegation from 12 countries, including representatives from Africa, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, the Americas, and the Middle East. The visit, which took place from May 17 to May 23, was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to highlight Taiwan's accomplishments in democratic governance, technological innovation, and societal resilience. Deputy Foreign Ministers François Chih-chung Wu and Chen Ming-chi co-hosted a reception for the group, emphasizing Taiwan's commitment to regional peace and global prosperity amidst increasing pressures from China. The delegation engaged with various civil groups, governmental agencies, and think tanks, including visits to the Industrial Technology Research Institute and the Taiwan Space Agency, to gain a comprehensive understanding of Taiwan's advancements. Following the visit, numerous news reports were published in several countries, focusing on Taiwan's promotion of its drone industry and smart medicine, showcasing the island's strategic importance in the Indo-Pacific region. This initiative not only aimed to strengthen Taiwan's international presence but also to foster partnerships with like-minded nations, particularly in the face of ongoing geopolitical tensions.
