Taipei Economic and Cultural Office - 112th National Day of Taiwan Celebrations

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to recognise the 112th National Day of Taiwan. I recently had the opportunity to take part in celebrations, organised by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Sydney. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the rich and vibrant history of Taiwan, whilst also recognising their contributions to New South Wales, Australia, and the globe. As the Shadow Minister for Multiculturalism, I take great pride in recognising the important connection between Taiwan and New South Wales. Taiwan has become a beacon for democracy, economic stability and human rights in the Indo-Pacific region. These shared values build upon the Multicultural principles that make our state such a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. It was wonderful to attend with many of my Parliamentary colleagues, paying tribute to the incredible things that Taiwan continues to do for NSW. I'd like to thank Director General Mr. David Cheng-Wei Wu, as well as the rest of the team of staff who made the event such a success. I look forward to working alongside them into the future.
