(Taipei, April 29, Central News Agency reporter Yang Shu-min) The DPP's nominee for Taipei mayor has not yet been announced, but a popular candidate, Legislator Shen Po-yang, recently proposed that 'Taipei should have an Unlimited City Forum.' Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an today detailed his experiences in international city exchanges and holding the Taipei International City Forum, welcoming Shen Po-yang to participate.
DPP legislator-at-large Shen Po-yang, in a recent interview, stated that the Twin City Forum is unnecessary and that Taiwan should go global. As the capital, Taipei should connect with international cities and hold an 'Unlimited City Forum' with major cities like Tokyo, New York, and Paris.
Chiang Wan-an today attended the 2026 Flood Prevention and Emergency Rescue Exercise and Autonomous Disaster Prevention Community Achievement Presentation. As the Taipei mayoral election campaign begins to heat up, the media asked Chiang for his views on Shen Po-yang's 'Unlimited City Forum' proposal during a pre-event interview.
Chiang Wan-an said that Taipei City has held the Taipei International City Forum for two consecutive years, inviting mayors from major cities worldwide to share urban governance experiences. Taipei City provides a global platform for city exchanges and deepens international cooperation. In addition, he has had many in-depth exchanges with the mayors of Paris, London, the governor of Tokyo, and the mayor of Seoul, sharing issues and experiences in urban governance.
Chiang Wan-an also said that if there is an opportunity, he welcomes Shen Po-yang to attend the Taipei International City Forum to listen to the experiences of major cities from various countries in governing their cities.
Regarding media questions on whether exchange and forum are the same thing, Chiang Wan-an said that Taipei City holds the Taipei International City Forum, inviting many city mayors. This year, they jointly signed a strategic cooperation memorandum with the mayor of Dresden, Germany. Because TSMC established a factory in Dresden, they also know that Nvidia's overseas headquarters is located in Taipei, and will continue to cooperate on AI technology exchange.
Chiang Wan-an further exemplified that he also held online forums with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike and the Mayor of Bangkok, jointly exploring how various cities overcome issues such as low birth rates and aging populations. Taipei City will continue to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with mayors and teams from various cities. (Editor: Chen Ching-fang) 1150429
