Taipei City held the 2024 Eid-Al-Fitr in Taipei event at Daan Forest Park on Sunday. Eid-Al-Fitr is an important festival for Muslims which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The event featured stage performances, halal markets, and activities to promote Muslim multiculturalism.

Chiang said Taipei is committed to becoming a friendly, diverse, and inclusive city. He added that Taipei will continue working hard to become more convenient for all Muslims.
