Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry has allocated about $56 million in the 2023 budget for rebuilding Ukraine’s civil infrastructure, Caribbean News Global reported Monday.
The publication said, citing Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry, plans to participate in the reconstruction of Ukrainian hospitals, schools, churches, energy facilities, water supply, bridges and transport on a bilateral and multilateral basis.
“Since the start of the war (Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine), the people and government of Taiwan have donated a total of 27 tons of medical supplies and more than 700 tons of humanitarian aid. Aid from Taiwan was quickly delivered via Poland, Slovakia and other neighboring countries to Ukrainians seeking to protect their homes during the war,” the publication notes.
Taiwan also donated more than $41 million to efforts in coordination with neighboring countries – including Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania – and international organizations to resettle Ukrainian refugees together.
