President Tsai met with CAPRi delegation to strengthen ties between Taiwan and the rest of the globe

The Center for Asia-Pacific Resilience and Innovation (CAPRi), the first international non-governmental organization to have its headquarters in Taiwan, was formally unveiled at the World Economic Forum (WEF) with the goal of fostering stronger links between Asia-Pacific nations. In order to discuss public policies and strengthen Taiwan's ties with the rest of the world, President Tsai Ing-wen invited the delegation from the CAPRi as well as former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to the Office of the President to communicate Taiwan's viewpoints to the world.

President Tsai emphasized that CAPRi, founded in May 2022, is not only the first international think tank founded in Taiwan but also a significant research organization in many other nations that is committed to resolving crucial world challenges. The first annual meeting and forum were conducted at CAPRi during this visit, and leaders, experts, and citizen groups were invited to debate the problems confronting the global society and look for new governance practices.
