Representatives from Taiwan, the United States, Japan, and Australia have taken part in an online forum to discuss the development of green energy. The meeting on Wednesday took place under the auspices of the Global Cooperation & Training Framework, a platform launched in 2015 by Taiwan and the United States.
Taiwan’s foreign ministry says it hopes partner countries can continue to share best practices on green energy development through the framework.
In a pre-recorded speech at the forum, Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said developing clean, renewable energy sources is a key goal in efforts to fight climate change. He says Taiwan is doing all it can to become a center for renewable energy in the Indo-Pacific region.
Wu says the government is already working with allies like St. Kitts and Nevis and the Marshall Islands to develop plans for renewable energy development.
Around 120 officials from 50 countries took part in the talks, including representatives from Thailand, South Korea, and Vietnam.
