Taiwan president promotes infrastructure plan

Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen said on Tuesday railway and renewable energy projects under the government’s recently launched Forward-looking Infrastructure Program will help bolster Taiwan’s economic development by streamlining transportation links between major cities and fostering the development of green technologies.

Tsai made the comments while visiting two locations in northern Taiwan’s Taoyuan City set for significant investment under the FIP, a US$28.9 billion infrastructure initiative aimed at stimulating growth and driving industrial transformation.
