TECC in India, in collaboration with the Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER), and DAKSHIN, co-hosted the Taiwan–India Economic Partnership Workshop: Building Resilient and Sustainable Supply Chains.

The workshop brought together representatives from think tanks, industry, and academia from both Taiwan and India for in-depth discussions on semiconductors, artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, trusted supply chains, and Indo-Pacific economic resilience.

The opening session featured welcome remarks by Prof. Sachin Kumar Sharma, Director General of RIS, followed by an opening address by Ambassador Mu-Ming Chen, Representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre in India. Special remarks were also delivered by Dr. Kristy Tsun-Tzu Hsu, Director of the Taiwan ASEAN Studies Centre at CIER, and Mr. Ninad S. Deshpande, Director General of the India-Taipei Association (ITA), Taipei.

In his remarks, Ambassador Chen highlighted that while Taiwan may be small in size, it is a major high-tech economy with key strengths in semiconductors, ICT, and electronics manufacturing. India, with its vast market, strong talent pool, and rapidly expanding manufacturing capacity, is a natural and highly complementary partner for Taiwan.

Participants agreed that amid global supply chain restructuring and growing geopolitical uncertainties, Taiwan and India have great potential to deepen cooperation in technology, investment, industrial clusters, and talent exchange, working together to build a more resilient, trusted, and sustainable Indo-Pacific supply chain.

開幕式由RIS執行長 Prof. Sachin Kumar Sharma 、本處陳大使牧民、中華經濟研究院台灣東協研究中心主任 徐遵慈及印度台北協會（ITA）會長Mr. Ninad S. Deshpande 發表開幕致詞。

陳大使表示，台灣雖然幅員不大，卻是全球重要高科技經濟體，尤其在半導體、資通訊及電子製造領域具關鍵優勢。印度則擁有龐大市場、人才優勢及快速成長的製造能量，雙方合作潛力深厚。

與會貴賓一致認為，在全球供應鏈重組及地緣經濟變局下，台灣與印度可在科技、投資、產業聚落及人才交流等領域持續深化合作，共同打造更具韌性、可信賴且永續的印太供應鏈。

Taiwanese Literature Wins the International Booker Prize for the First Time: Congratulations to Writer Yáng Shuāng-zi and Translator Lin King for Taiwan Travelogue

Taiwanese literature has reached a historic milestone! The winners of the 2026 International Booker Prize have been announced, and Taiwan Travelogue, written by Yáng Shuāng-zi and translated into English by Lin King, has received the prestigious award. The novel is the first work of Taiwanese literature ever to win the International Booker Prize.
Following their earlier recognition with the U.S. National Book Award for Translated Literature, Yáng Shuāng-zi and translator Lin King have once again received major international acclaim. Taiwan Travelogue competed alongside five outstanding shortlisted titles from Bulgaria, Brazil, France, and Germany, ultimately emerging as the winner.
Widely regarded as one of the world’s most influential awards for translated fiction, the International Booker Prize honors outstanding literary works translated into English, with the prize shared equally between the author and translator. The 2025 International Booker Prize winner was Indian writer Banu Mushtaq for Heart Lamp.
From November 5 to 9, 2025, with the support of Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, Yáng Shuāng-zi toured New Delhi and Mumbai for a series of lectures and cultural exchange events, receiving enthusiastic responses from local publishers, scholars, and readers. Ambassador Mumin Chen of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India stated, “We are deeply honored by this achievement. We hope to see more Taiwanese literary works reach Indian readers and allow more people to discover Taiwan through literature.”
Currently, Taiwan Travelogue is available at major bookstores across India. Readers are warmly invited to explore Taiwan’s history and culture through this remarkable work.
