Taiwan eyes hike in trade with PH

Taiwan is optimistic that its bilateral trade with the Philippines will increase by 30 percent in the next two years as the two countries intensify export promotion activities.

“After the Taiwan Expo, and we also have many trade facilitation events to be held mostly in Taipei and in Manila, we hope in the next two years the trade volume between our two countries can be increased by 30 percent,” said James Huang, chairman of Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), in an interview Friday.
