Welcoming of Ms Fiona Fan

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

— I take this opportunity to officially congratulate Ms Fiona Fan, the new Director General of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office. Ms Fan replaces Ms Constance Wang, who did a fantastic job and remains a great friend of this House. Taiwan and the New South Wales Parliament have a strong relationship and I have no doubt this will continue long into the future. As well as congratulating Ms Fan, I would like to welcome her to the Asia Pacific Friendship Group. The Parliamentary Group consists of representatives from all Asia-Pacific countries, and Taiwan remains a large part of this. Despite being a State Parliament, New South Wales is constantly on the global stage. We are known around the world and have a large part to play in international relations. I commend members on both sides, particularly those involved in the Asia Pacific Friendship Group, for their embracing of our global community. Once again, congratulations and welcome to Ms Fan!
