TECC Chennai Hosts Diwali Luncheon to Strengthen Bonds with the Taiwanese Business Community

Director-General Stephen Hsu of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) in Chennai hosted a luncheon for Taiwanese business representatives and friends at "Taiwan Maami", a popular Taiwanese restaurant in Chennai, on November 8, 2026, bringing together members of the Taiwanese business community who rarely have the chance to meet due to their busy schedules. The gathering took place during the long Diwali weekend, one of India's most important festivals, comparable to the Lunar New Year in Taiwan. As many people returned to their hometowns to celebrate with their families, Chennai's usually busy streets became noticeably quieter, while the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers continued to fill the air, adding to the festive atmosphere. The Taiwanese business representatives expressed their appreciation for TECC Chennai's continued care and support. Over familiar Taiwanese dishes, everyone enjoyed warm conversations and shared updates on their lives and work, spending a delightful afternoon together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
