The Republican governor of Indiana, Eric Holcomb, arrived in Taiwan for a four-day visit on Sunday to kick off an economic development trip that includes both Taiwan and South Korea.
Holcomb is the first U.S. governor to visit Taiwan since 2019 and the first Indiana governor to go to Taiwan in 17 years, he said in a statement.
He said that he is “energized” about his visit, adding that he is “committed to building an economy of the future” with global partners who help Indiana grow future businesses.
This is also Holcomb’s first visit to Taiwan, and his delegation includes Indiana Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers, Purdue University Dean of College of Engineering Mark Lundstrom, and Chief of Staff Alyssa Wilcox, according to Holcomb’s office….
