Strengthening Taiwan–South India Ties and Exploring New Avenues for Cooperation
On the morning of November 11, 2026, Mr. Stephen S. C. Hsu, Director-General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) in Chennai, welcomed a five-member delegation from the Hindustan Chamber of Commerce, led by its President, Mr. Praveen Kumar Tatia, and President Elect, Mr. Hiren Shah, for a cordial and fruitful exchange.
During the meeting, the delegation introduced the Chamber’s organizational structure, history, and major activities. Both sides exchanged views on a wide range of topics, including Taiwan–South India bilateral trade and investment, technological development, education and cultural exchanges, startup ecosystem collaboration, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and initiatives to support and protect vulnerable communities.
Director-General Hsu highlighted the strong complementarity between Taiwan and India in technology, manufacturing, talent development, and innovation. As bilateral economic and trade relations continue to grow, business associations play an important role in facilitating business networking, identifying investment opportunities, and promoting substantive industrial cooperation.
He expressed his hope that TECC in Chennai and the Hindustan Chamber of Commerce would maintain close communication and work together to promote business exchanges, investment partnerships, and broader cooperation in education, culture, and social welfare.
Taiwan and India are not only important economic partners but also partners sharing a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility. TECC in Chennai will continue to serve as a bridge connecting the two sides and fostering closer ties across different sectors for mutual benefit and shared prosperity.
