Minister of Foreign Affairs Jaushieh Joseph Wu met with Tomáš Kopečný, the Czech government’s envoy for the reconstruction of Ukraine, March 18 in Taipei City to exchange views on international aid projects to Ukraine.

Wu stressed that Taiwan has actively provided necessary assistance to the Eastern European country since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. The cooperation between Taiwan and Czechia in assisting Ukraine is a force of good that sets an example for other like-minded partners, he added.

In response, Kopečný thanked Taiwan for its help to bring potable water to over 100,000 Ukrainians. He also expressed hope that the two sides would continue to aid Ukraine in these difficult times.

According to the MOFA, Kopečný has facilitated the signing of two memorandums of understanding on rebuilding key infrastructure and the primary health care system in Ukraine at the end of last year. The MOUs specifically focused on reconstructing water purification facilities and power plants, as well as medical facilities.

The ministry will continue to work with the Czech government to help Ukraine resist authoritarian expansion, the MOFA said, adding that the two sides are committed to realizing the shared value of humanitarian assistance. (YCH-E)
