[Reporter Chen Yun/Taipei Report] Vice President Lai Qingde said tonight that the government is actively seeking to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). The current president, Chen Chien-jen, will actively resolve various membership issues so that Taiwan will not be excluded when the global industrial chain is restructured.

Malaysian Taiwanese Entrepreneurs Association held the "Malaysia Night and Chinese New Year Gathering" at the Grand Hyatt Hotel tonight. Lai Qingde said that on behalf of President Tsai, he came to congratulate and thank everyone for their contributions to Taiwan. The achievements of the members have driven the Malaysian economy. Development has become an important channel for Taiwan's international trade. The interaction between Taiwan and Malaysia stems from the joint efforts of everyone. The achievements of Taiwanese businessmen in trade are also the achievements of Taiwan's foreign trade.

He also praised Taiwanese businessmen for contributing money and efforts when the Malaysian society needs it, so that Malaysia and the international community can witness that Taiwan is a positive and sincere force in the world.

Lai Qingde also said that he would like to thank the Taiwanese Entrepreneurs Association of Malaysia for urging the Malaysian government to support Taiwan to join the CPTPP. "You have forgotten your motherland, Taiwan, because you are not in Malaysia. I am really grateful to everyone." Currently, Southeast Asia is the number one foreign investment of Taiwanese businessmen. Therefore, the government actively assists various issues of the new southbound investment, and re-signs investment guarantee agreements with the Philippines, Vietnam, and India. I hope that when you deploy globally, you can get government support and legal protection from the country, so that foreign trade Continue to grow.

Lai Qingde said that the current government is actively seeking to join the CPTPP. In addition to inviting the support of member states such as the United States, Japan, and Malaysia, we have also submitted documents, including the former President Su Zhenchang and the current Vice President Chen Jianren. They will actively solve various problems. This issue allows Taiwan to integrate into the regional economy, especially in the restructuring of the global industrial chain so that it will not be excluded.

In addition, Lai Qingde pointed out that Taiwan and the United States have restarted negotiations on the Taiwan-US Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) after Taiwan resolved various trade obstacles in US pigs and US cattle. Based on the two foundations of the 21st Century Trade Initiative, Taiwan-US trade relations will be strengthened, and eventually a Taiwan-US bilateral investment agreement or bilateral trade agreement will be formed, so that when Taiwan's economy enters the world, it will not only shine in Southeast Asia, but also in the wider world. The place has gained.

Lai Ching-teh mentioned that the major international financial institutions predict that the economy will be poor this year, so President Tsai has given various instructions to reduce the burden on the people at the grassroots level, stabilize people's livelihood prices, adjust the industrial structure, and make Taiwan's industries more competitive. We will definitely carry out the four tasks assigned by President Tsai in a timely manner. There is only one purpose, and we hope that Taiwan will continue to make progress.
