Vice President Wu Den-yih and Vice President-elect Chen Chien-jen were seen on stage together Thursday, attending an opening ceremony of the 2016 Taiwan International Boat Show.
Both of them delivered a speech at the event.
The 2016 Taiwan International Boat Show kicked off in Kaohsiung Thursday at Kaohsiung Exhibition Center, showcasing the latest designs of world leading boat-makers as well as quality marine products and related accessories of local manufacturers.
Wu first congratulated Chen Chien-jen, who will be taking over the position soon, and said he would expect the new government to continue the effort in promoting close cooperation between public and private sectors.
Accompanied by Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu, Chen Chien-jen said that it is a pleasure coming back to his hometown and participating in the largest indoor boat exhibition in Asia.
Taiwan holds the honor of having the largest yacht manufacturing industry in Asia, said Chen, and as Kaohsiung is in good condition for yacht industry development, he would expect the industry to provide economic boost to the country.
The Taiwan International Boat Show is being held from March 10 to 13 with a total of 162 local and foreign boat builders participating in the event.
