Good afternoon!
It is an honor and a pleasure that we have His Excellency Ambassador George Fraser with us to give us WTIC 2023 online annual lecture today. On behalf of Welcome to Taipei International Club board of directors, I would like to extend our gratitude to Ambassador Fraser taking his precious time to share with us the characteristics of Micronesian Pacific cultures and people.
Currently WTIC has more than 240 international and local members, including more than 50 nationalities. In WTIC, we share same interest, and doing thing together, and appreciate each other as persons rather than as representatives of Nationalities. For each of our interest group activity and annual event, there is same underlying objective to understand each other’s culture, and through understanding to foster friendship.
Our topic today is about Micronesian Pacific nations and areas. Micronesian Pacific may be thousands of miles away from us, but to mention the least, today after listening to Ambassador Fraser’s talk, you will be amazed that its surrounding ocean and islands significantly affect daily food on our table. Micronesian and all of us may seem afar from each other, yet we are actually so profoundly affect to each other’s daily life unnoticed. We live in a global village and only when we open our world view then we will get further understanding of our neighbors.
Without further delay, let me give the microphone to our moderator, Mayumi, to introduce Ambassador George Fraser and guide us through today’s program. I am thankful to all of your support and attend today’s lecture. Thank you very much.
On June 6th, the Art & Culture Group visited the Beitou Museum for its well curated “East Wind goes West-18th Century Qing Dynasty Popular Export Porcelainsin Europe” Exhibition. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Director Hung Kan and WTIC Consulting Adviser Lisette Lou for their comprehensive explanation on the porcelain and silverware collections. The 9-course Kaiseki Ryori was delicious too.
It was a nice closure before we take our summer break. We would like to thank you for your support and wish you all the best on your summer travels!

On March 7th, the Art & Culture Group visited “Lost Army Story House” in Longgang Taoyuan, where we were greeted by the Chief Secretary of the Dept. of Tourism, Ms. Lu Hsiu-chin and President Wang Ken-Shen.
Mr. Wang volunteered to lead the Chinese tour, which was a big highlight for us. We enjoyed the Green Papaya Salad DIY, authentic Yunnan Rice Noodles Soup & flaky steam bun, and an ethnic costume photoshoot, and afternoon tea in the garden. We remain thankful to President Wang and his crew for offering excellent service and assistance, and most of us went home with handfuls of souvenirs, yummy steam buns, and rice crackers.

On March 1st, WTIC Honorary Member H.E. Ambassador Candice Pitts of Belize inaugurated the “Belize Culture Month and Women’s Month” exhibit at the National Central Library. In celebration of 2023 International Women’s Day, the month-long exhibition recognizes and highlights contribution by women to Belizean culture, history and development. The exhibition includes artwork by Belizean women artists, woven tapestry by Belizean Indigenous Mayan women, and sculptures that celebrate the beauty of Belizean women.
International Women’s Day honors the cultural, economic, historical and political accomplishments of women all over the world. The 2023 Women’s Day theme embraces equity for women. H.E. Ambassador Pitts, herself, is an accomplished diplomat, politician and educator. She was among a very small number of women elected to public office in Belize. She was and remains a strong advocate on women empowerment and children welfare programs. During the opening ceremony, H.E. Ambassador Pitts, along with our WTIC immediate past-President Jeannie Tien, Honorary Member H.E. Ambassador Andrea Bowman, and several other women in the foreign service community received a Mayan table runner recognizing their valuable contributions to society and the world.
