Taiwan President Lai Emphasizes Importance of International Cooperation in Semiconductor Industry
Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te emphasized that Taiwan's semiconductor industry has developed through a global division of labor and long-term cooperative relationships. Semiconductors are an essential technology for modern digital society, and Taiwan plays a central role in this field.
President Lai pointed out that global companies, including U.S. semiconductor giant NVIDIA, are deeply involved with Taiwan. These cooperative relationships serve as a vital pillar supporting not only Taiwan's industrial development but also technological innovation worldwide.
Regarding the future, President Lai expressed his expectations for building a more resilient supply chain. He believes that establishing a system capable of supplying semiconductors stably, even amidst natural disasters and geopolitical risks, will lead to the stability of the global economy.
For Japan, too, Taiwan's semiconductor industry is an extremely important partner. Continued cooperation between Taiwan and countries around the world to maintain a stable supply chain will hold great significance for the development of Japan's manufacturing and digital sectors.
