In an interview with CNA in The Hague, Taiwan's representative to the Netherlands, Tian Zhongguang, said Taiwan and the Netherlands already share a relationship of mutual trust in high-tech cooperation and are ideal drone partners in Europe. He said Taiwan's strengths in chip design and manufacturing, information transmission and precision machinery make it a highly trusted partner for the Netherlands, especially for drones involving a high degree of sensitivity.
Tian said the advantages of the partnership include Taiwan's work to build a non-red supply chain, its precision machinery, Dutch combat-proven experience in drone design and high-end system development. He added that the Netherlands has joined the World Alliance for Disaster Management initiated by Taiwan, so cooperation on water management can grow from bilateral to multilateral, and noted that the Netherlands is Taiwan's second-largest trading partner in the European Union.
