Ambassador Chen also expressed his vision and missions. “During my tenure, I shall spare no effort in further strengthening the friendly and mutually beneficial relations between our two countries,” he stressed.
Governor General Cenac welcomed Ambassador Chen to Saint Lucia. He said that if there is a song to highlight the close and friendly relations between Saint Lucia and Taiwan, it would be “You belong to my heart, now and forever.”
Speaking of his impression of Taiwan, Governor General Cenac said the nation solidly “stands on her feet vis-à-vis the nations of the world.” He said Taiwan should be treated as an equal with every other nation in the world community, and that Saint Lucia’s advocacy in this regard is “undeviating and constant.”
