00:00Paraguayan President Santiago Pena was accompanied by President Lai Chin De on a visit to the
00:05Southern Taiwan Science Park on Saturday.
00:10I came here to learn about the seeds of technological development that Taiwanese people planted
00:16more than 40 years ago.
00:18These seeds have grown over the past few decades and have made Taiwan a world power in the
00:23field of technology.
00:25Although Paraguay and Taiwan are 19,000 kilometers apart, have language barriers, and seemingly
00:32different cultures, we share the same vision for development.
00:36Speaking at a press conference in Tainan, Pena said that his country is seeking to grow its
00:42high-tech industry.
00:43He said this visit to Taiwan will help Paraguay to develop its own science and technology
00:48policies.
00:49Paraguay is one of Taipei's 12 official diplomatic allies and the only one in South America.
00:55This trip, which concludes on Sunday, marks Pena's first state visit to Taiwan.
