(Central News Agency reporter Wu Che-hao, Nantou, 8th) China is holding the Global Traditional Food and Nutrition Products Expo in June and sent an invitation to Nantou County Magistrate Hsu Shu-hua to participate. Hsu Shu-hua stated today that the Agricultural Department directly rejected the invitation due to the tight schedule, and the county government will not participate. However, she still welcomes invitations from various organizations to promote Nantou's agricultural products.
Liberty Times reported today that China is holding the "Global Traditional Food and Nutrition Products Expo" in June and sent an invitation to Nantou County Magistrate Hsu Shu-hua to lead a delegation to participate. The letter mentioned that after the meeting between leaders of the KMT and CPC, 10 measures were clearly proposed to assist Taiwan's agriculture, fisheries, and food industries in expanding into the Chinese market, and to show sincerity, the standard exhibition booth construction fee would be waived.
When asked by the media whether she would participate in the Global Traditional Food and Nutrition Products Expo, Hsu Shu-hua said in an interview that she had participated in exhibitions in Singapore and Japan this year. The Agricultural Department received the invitation on May 6, but the exhibition time is in early June. Considering the planning work for public departments and inviting relevant organizations to participate, the time was too tight. Agricultural Department colleagues rejected the invitation at that time, and she will not lead a delegation to participate, nor will the county government send personnel.
Hsu Shu-hua pointed out that the county government is very willing and optimistic about invitations from various countries and organizations to curate exhibitions, as it helps market the county's agricultural products. She also welcomes various organizations to invite Nantou County, no matter which country, as the county government is very happy to do so, because it can not only market Nantou tourism but also promote Nantou's agricultural products.
