2017 South Korea visit

[edit]

On 1–8 April 2017, Tsai visited South Korea to promote educational cooperation between the two sides and to further understand the primary education system in the country. During the visit, he met with Representative to South Korea Joseph Shih in which both discussed various topics from education, tourism, economics and politics.[2]

Non-Chinese Malaysian students in Taiwan

[edit]

In July 2017, Tsai made a statement that any non-Chinese students from Malaysia would not face any difficulty to study in Taiwan as most of the courses taught at public and private higher education institutions are taught in English. He also pointed out that the ministry had instructed those institutions to cater the needs for Muslim students, especially on the availability of prayer rooms and Halal-certified foods.[3]
