TAIWAN – USA SYNERGY Slated August 5 in Los Angeles

Taiwan is America’s 12th largest trading partner and as such the importance of the relationship between the two countries continues to grow exponentially. The impact Taiwan has on California is significant and hence the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles has devoted a special event August 5 entitled Taiwan – USA Synergy to discuss further collaboration between the two countries.
