According to President Tsai Ing-wen, New Jersey serves as a gateway to the eastern U.S. market and is home to significant American sectors including biotechnology and communications technology. Many Taiwanese businesspeople have therefore traveled to New Jersey in order to invest and grow their clientele.
She expresses happiness that New Jersey has decided to open an Asia-Pacific Economic and Trade Office in Taiwan and hopes that in the future, Taiwan and New Jersey will work together to jointly establish a secure and reliable global supply chain in the information technology, medical biotechnology, and green energy sectors.
Taiwan and New Jersey have boundless possibilities for collaboration, according to State Governor Murphy of New Jersey. It is with great pleasure that he announces New Jersey's intention to establish its first Asia-Pacific Economic and Trade Office in Taipei and to broaden its reach regionally. It is envisaged that this would forge new ground in the long-term connection between the two parties, fortify their cultural and economic bonds over many years, and open up new doors for families and workers on both sides.
