Three cabinet ministers are presently on an official visit to Taiwan. They are led by Attorney General Mike Peyrefitte, and he is accompanied by Minister of Human Development, Anthony "Boots" Martinez; and Minister of State with responsibility for Immigration, Beverly Williams.
They arrived there on Monday and the trip ends on Friday.
They are meeting with Taiwan's National Immigration Agency, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, and the Workforce Development Agency in the Ministry of Labour. Before returning to Belize, the delegation will meet with representatives from the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Examination, and the Directorate-General of Personnel Administration.
They also held a roundtable forum on crime, economic development, and foreign trade with Belizean students who are enrolled in Taiwanese universities.
At a luncheon, Taiwanese officials thanked Belize for its, quote, "everlasting friendship" and the words of support by Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington in his address at the 72nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly.
