Kaohsiung City-headquartered Taiwan Carbon Solution Exchange (TCX) signed a memorandum of understanding with the European Energy Exchange June 27 in the German city of Leipzig.
Environment Minister Peng Chi-ming and Chang Ken-mu, deputy director general of the Climate Change Administration, were in attendance to witness the ceremony, the Ministry of Environment said. According to the MOENV, they also observed a simulated transaction platform, since the EEX will be assisting Taiwan in the establishment of such a system.
In remarks at the signing, Peng noted that it is vital for the government to build a cap and trade system, adding that the memorandum of understanding will facilitate not only the design of a platform but also talent cultivation. He further indicated that the collaboration is of critical importance in light of the inevitable trend of a unified global carbon market.
According to the MOENV, the European Union was the first region in the world to implement an emission trading system and therefore has a comprehensive legal framework. The ministry added that it would be taking on the responsibility of building a legal mechanism while TCX would oversee emission allowance trading.
To fully support the TCX, the MOENV said that it would also collaborate with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Financial Supervisory Commission.
A pilot run for an emissions trading system has been scheduled for 2026, while the official launch of the system has been set for 2027-2028. The ministry added that it believes the agreement lays a solid foundation for future initiatives. (POC-E)

President Lai Ching-te urged the U.K. June 30 to publicly support Taiwan's accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and jointly develop a prosperous Indo-Pacific.
Lai made the remarks while meeting with Douglas Alexander, minister of state at the U.K.'s Department for Business and Trade, at the Presidential Office in Taipei City.
The Taiwan-U.K. relationship has gone from strength to strength in recent years, Lai said. The two sides continue to deepen cooperation in areas such as culture, education, offshore wind power and innovative technologies while establishing regular dialogues in the fields of agriculture, energy, economics and trade, he added.
The U.K. is currently Taiwan's fourth-largest European trading partner, the president said, adding that the two countries signed agreements on investment, digital trade, and energy and net-zero transition, the three pillars of the Enhanced Trade Partnership framework, earlier that day.
Lai took the opportunity to thank the U.K. government for its long-standing support for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, citing the Strategic Defence Review 2025 and National Security Strategy 2025 published earlier this month. He also expressed appreciation for a motion passed by the House of Commons last November to oppose any attempt to misinterpret U.N. General Assembly Resolution 2758.
According to Lai, Taiwan and the U.K. boast highly complementary technology sectors. He concluded by saying that the two sides are indispensable partners amid the restructuring of global supply chains.
In response, Alexander praised the new ETP agreements and reaffirmed the U.K.'s commitment to prosperity and resilience on both sides, as well as cross-strait peace and stability.
The pacts were inked by Vincent Chin-hsiang Yao, head of the Taipei Representative Office in the U.K., and British Office Taipei Representative Ruth Bradley-Jones. Deputy Economic Minister Cynthia Kiang and Alexander also hosted the 27th Taiwan-U.K. Trade Talks June 30 in Taipei, with a focus on artificial intelligence, energy and semiconductors. (YCH-E)

A team of researchers from the National Museum of Prehistory in the southeastern county of Taitung and Tokyo City-based National Museum of Nature and Science has demonstrated the viability of hypotheses concerning seafaring in dugout canoes in the Paleolithic period, according to the Ministry of Culture.
According to the MOC, the finding resulted from a cooperative project conducted from 2017 to 2019 that has provided invaluable insight into the marine expansion of late Paleolithic peoples in East Asia.
Tokyo University professor Yousuke Kaifu and Lin Chih-hsing, former NMP vice director, along with other researchers, finished analyses of ocean currents and sea conditions and published an article in Science Advances. A related study in the same journal saw other members of the team use computer simulations to show that a sailless canoe could make it to western Japan's Yaeyama Islands from eastern Taiwan.
In the practical experiments, Paleolithic tools such as stone axes were used to make a 7.5-meter long canoe, the researchers said. A crew of five then embarked on a two-day journey to Yonaguni Island, crossing the powerful Kuroshio Current, the ministry said, adding that a documentary with Chinese subtitles has been uploaded to the NMP's YouTube channel.
The MOC said that the NMP pledged to continue collaboration with global academic institutions to explore the evolution of the nation's culture and history as well as its links to the wider world. (POC-E)

President Lai Ching-te said that the upcoming 41st Hang Kuang and city-town resilience exercises would demonstrate the country's strong commitment to self-defense.
Lai hosted the 4th meeting of the Whole-of-Society-Resilience Committee June 26 at the Presidential Office in Taipei City. He emphasized that protecting the country is not only the responsibility of the armed forces, but also that of ordinary citizens.
The president said that it has been a year since the committee was established, adding that a special budget of NT$150 billion (US$5.1billion) has been allocated to strengthen national defense capability through procurement of equipment including coastal guard defenses and unmanned vehicles.
The Hang Kuang drills, set to take place July 9-18, test military personnel on tackling grey zone tactics, rapid reaction, conflict preparedness, operational strategic communications and use of new equipment.
Alongside the Hang Kuang exercises, a series of city-town resilience exercises will be held, the president said and added that in March, field exercises were conducted to examine coordination between central and local governments as well as public and private sectors. Since April 10, further drills were implemented in eight cities and counties including eastern Taiwan's Hualien County, Keelung City in the north and the outlying Lienchiang County.
The president further noted that three more drills will be staged July 15-17 in the central city of Taichung, the southern city of Tainan and Taipei City while air and civil defense exercises will take place in 22 cities and counties.
Following Lai's outline, the Ministries of Defense and Interior and the Executive Yuan briefed the meeting on Hang Kuang planning, goals set for whole-of-society resilience and the 2025 city-town resilience exercises, the PO said. (POC-E)

Taiwan's Ministry of Environment organized a carbon pricing workshop June 24-26 in Berlin to promote bilateral exchanges as the government strives to implement the country's own cap and emissions trading system (ETS) on a trial basis in 2026.
According to the MOENV, the Taiwan side was represented by a delegation led by Environmental Minister Peng Chi-ming. The group comprised officials and representatives from entities such as the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Financial Supervisory Commission, Taiwan Carbon Solution Exchange, Taiwan Stock Exchange Corp. and Taiwan Green Growth Alliance.
During his opening remarks, Peng said Taiwan kicked off its carbon fee system this year. In contrast to systems that levy fixed rates, ETS can better reflect the actual carbon reduction costs incurred by industries, he said, adding that both President Lai Ching-te and Premier Cho Jung-tai support creating a domestic ETS as soon as possible.
To this end, the minister said the MOENV is working to enhance information sharing and communication with all parties of interest, adding that the workshop will also help related parties better understand global trends.
Peng also thanked the German Emissions Trading Authority and its partner organizations for collaborating with the MOENV in arranging the workshop. He expressed appreciation to Jürgen Landgrebe, former head of the German agency, for facilitating the signing of a memorandum between the two sides in 2018 on carbon pricing cooperation.
Landgrebe commended Taiwan for its comprehensive climate change policy, saying that he fully supports bilateral cooperation on related issues and hopes to see the two sides team up to develop regional carbon trading markets.
The three-day event featured speeches, presentations and discussion sessions that involved experts and representatives from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy of Germany, European Energy Exchange, International Carbon Action Partnership and Global Enabling Sustainability Initiatives, among others.

President Lai Ching-te received Takayuki Kobayashi, a member of Japan's House of Representatives, at the Presidential Office June 25 in Taipei City, pledging to keep enhancing bilateral partnership to ensure economic security and sustained development in the Indo-Pacific.
According to the president, Taiwan and Japan are both part of the first island chain, and Japan's prime ministers have repeatedly stressed the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and voiced objection to any unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion.
Lai stressed that China's efforts to establish a red supply chain pose a threat to global free trade and the development of the high-tech market. Taiwan is looking to work with democratic partners to build a trusted, resilient supply chain in response, he said, adding that the success of Taiwan-Japan cooperation in the semiconductor sector is anticipated to promote more international industrial tie-ups.
The president called on Japan to facilitate the signing of an economic partnership agreement with Taiwan to further deepen bilateral trade and investment, and expressed hope that Japan would support Taiwan's bid to take part in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.
In response, Kobayashi said his visit reflects the strong bond between Japan and Taiwan, adding that the two sides not only share a deep historical connection, but also enjoy robust economic, people-to-people and strategic links.
As Japan's former minister of state for economic security, Kobayashi said he fully understands the importance of economic security to national interests. He added that he looks forward to exchanging views on ways to promote a global democratic supply chain during the visit. (SFC-E)

Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) held an opening ceremony for the Taiwan Health & Wellness Hub June 24 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, underscoring the government's commitment to enhancing the international visibility of the country's health care advancements.
The event drew over 120 participants from both nations, the TAITRA said, adding that the center will help companies from Taiwan to understand the Malaysian market. The council also said that artificial intelligence-powered medical equipment including the VeriSee DR developed by New Taipei City-based Acer Medical Inc., which rapidly detects diabetic retinopathy, was to remain on display at the center along with a virtual reality acupuncture teaching system established by China Medical University Hospital headquartered in the central city of Taichung.
