Governor Mead Welcomes Delegation From Taiwan

After Governor Mead led a trade mission to Taiwan last year to start to develop new markets for Wyoming industries, the Governor  will now welcome a delegation from Taiwan to Wyoming this week. The delegation will be in Cheyenne on April 17th.

The delegation includes the Governor of Taiwan Province and representatives of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Seattle.

Governor Mead said,

“This is a burgeoning relationship, full of potential and as I seek to expand markets for Wyoming industries, Taiwan has shown interest and compatibility,I am honored to host our guests and continue the discussion about how we can export energy and agriculture products to Taiwan while welcoming tourists from Taiwan.”

There is demand in Taiwan for American coal and American beef, and there are new opportunities for tourism given the inclusion of Taiwan in the U.S. visa waiver program.

Governor Mead recently signed a joint resolution that recognizes the importance of the relationship between Taiwan and the State of Wyoming. The Resolution supports Taiwan’s participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
