New Delhi: The government of Taiwan on Wednesday issued a clarification, reaffirming its position on the proposed engagement with Indian migrant workers, while strongly condemning recent discriminatory remarks circulating in public discussions.
The clarification came after controversy linked to comments and online discourse in Taiwan regarding the potential recruitment of workers from India, which triggered criticism over perceived racial bias and stereotyping.
In a statement shared via X, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) in India said that certain recent publications and individual comments do not represent its official stance.
TECC said Taiwan remains committed to democratic values, inclusivity, and diversity, and continues to support people-to-people exchanges between Taiwan and India.
The statement also expressed regret over the remarks and said it strongly condemns all forms of prejudice, racism, and discrimination.
It added that Taiwan will continue efforts to promote bilateral exchanges and deepen mutual understanding between the two sides, particularly in areas of workforce cooperation and cultural engagement.
