Taipei Economic and Cultural Office Opens in Phoenix
Phoenix is a city in Maricopa County, Arizona. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Phoenix officially opened on Monday, October 5, becoming Taiwan's fourteenth representative office in the United States. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs joined Taiwan's Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung at the ceremony. The office will provide consular services to Taiwanese nationals in Arizona and New Mexico and serve as a one-stop contact for Taiwanese businesses investing in the state. Annual trade between Taiwan and Arizona has jumped from $3 billion to more than $21 billion in three years, driven by TSMC's expanding semiconductor campus in north Phoenix and its growing supplier network. Hobbs said Arizona will mobilize every available resource to support Taiwanese companies expanding in the state.
