The embassy hired a mix of 11 students from the Nevis Sixth Form and recent graduates who are interested in business.

“They are all interested in business and they see this as a great opportunity to learn about the practice of international trade and Taiwan’s technology and different sectors.

“Their role in the Taiwan expo is to represent Taiwanese companies who are participating but cannot come into the federation in person through the pandemic’s restrictions,” Mr. Liu said.

In preparation for the exposition, the students were trained virtually by the Taiwanese companies to introduce the products on behalf of companies.
