(CNA Reporter Wu Sheng-hung, Singapore, 21st) The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Brunei hosted a screening of the semiconductor development documentary "Mountain Builders." Representative Hsiao Sheng-chung said the film not only presents the development of semiconductors but also encapsulates the Taiwan spirit. Amidst the restructuring of global supply chains, Taiwan's application to join the CPTPP will help strengthen regional economic ties, and Taiwan is always ready to be a cooperative partner.
According to a press release from the Representative Office in Brunei, the office held a screening of "Mountain Builders" on the evening of the 20th. It also arranged activities featuring Taiwanese agricultural specialties, including various dried fruits from Chiayi and Tainan, as well as bubble tea, accompanied by Taiwanese folk music to create a "Taiwanese style" atmosphere, allowing guests to experience Taiwan through multiple senses such as taste and sound.
After the screening, Hsiao Sheng-chung delivered remarks, pointing out that Taiwan's becoming a global focal point in recent years originates not only from its outstanding achievements in the semiconductor field but also from its long-accumulated innovative capabilities, industrial resilience, and social vitality.
He stated that the documentary presents more than just the history of semiconductor technology development; it is a microcosm of the spirit of continuous breakthrough by Taiwan at critical moments. Taiwan is not only a key player in the global technology supply chain but also a society with both cultural charm and humanistic heritage, worthy of the international community's trust.
Hsiao noted that since the implementation of mutual visa exemptions between Taiwan and Brunei in 2025, bilateral exchanges have become more frequent. By combining elements like agricultural specialties, music, and imagery, he hopes this event will allow all sectors in Brunei to "not only see Taiwan but also personally experience Taiwan."
Discussing Brunei's policy focus on economic diversification and sustainable development, Hsiao stated that Taiwan possesses rich experience in smart agriculture and technology applications, showing high potential for cooperation between the two sides. Amidst the restructuring of global supply chains, Taiwan's application to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) will help strengthen regional economic connections and bring short- and long-term benefits to its members. "We are working hard to knock on this door; Taiwan is already well-prepared to become a cooperative partner at any time." (Editor: Tang Sheng-yang) 1150421
