Taiwan donates approximately 25 million yen to areas affected by the Kumamoto earthquake
Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 31st that it will donate 5 million New Taiwan dollars (approximately 25 million Japanese yen) to support the areas affected by the earthquake in Kumamoto Prefecture. The decision to provide swift assistance was made in recognition of the severity of the damage caused by the earthquake.
Taiwan's government has long valued its cooperative relationship with Japan, having sent significant donations and relief supplies whenever major disasters have occurred in the country in the past. Once again, they are extending a helping hand in the hope that the lives of the affected people will return to normal as soon as possible.
Furthermore, in addition to this support, Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has opened a dedicated account to collect donations from the general public. By doing so, they have created an environment where many people within Taiwan can participate in supporting the disaster-stricken areas.
Japan and Taiwan have consistently helped each other during times of disaster. This warm support from Taiwan is expected to provide significant encouragement to the people in the affected areas.
