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.
