Taiwan’s President Ma Ying-Jeou will be making his first official visit to Belize from Wednesday to Friday of next week. On the ceremonial side, he’ll be meeting all local leaders, and he will address a joint session of the National Assembly on Thursday. And on the business side he will sign agreements for an ICT Center in Belmopan City and host a press conference.
His two day stop in Belize is part of a tour of a number of Central American countries as he makes his way to El Salvador for the inauguration of its new President.

Taiwan is recognized by 23 countries, many of them concentrated on the Central American isthmus. This is the 20th year of diplomatic relations between Belize and Taiwan – and the dollar value in aid during that time would be difficult to calculate – but the figure is huge.
