Taiwan and Canada jointly announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding on a dark vessel detection system, laying a solid foundation for bilateral cooperation in combating illegal, unreported, and unregulated maritime activities. The MOU was signed by Ambassador Tseng Ho-jen, Representative of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Canada, and Mr. Jim Nickel, Executive Director of the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei (CTOT). Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Chen Ming-chi witnessed the signing.
In recent years, Taiwan and Canada have expanded cooperation in such domains as public health, technology, customs matters, trade, economics, and indigenous affairs. Deeper bilateral exchanges and interactions in the Indo-Pacific have clearly provided greater opportunities and prospects for both sides. By signing the MOU, Taiwan and Canada have pledged to work together to protect the marine environment and economy; combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing and other maritime activities conducted by dark vessels; and safeguard prosperity and stability in the region.
