On Monday, 15 September 2025, The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) had the honour of hosting His Excellency Dr. Lin Chia-lung, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan, for a closed-door luncheon at The Glazen Zaal in The Hague.
The discussion, held under the Chatham House Rule, focused on “Taiwan’s Role in the Strategic Reindustrialization of Europe.” Conversations explored the geopolitical aspects of reindustrialization, the development of democratic and resilient supply chains, and opportunities for enhanced cooperation between Taiwan and the Netherlands within the ReArm Europe framework.
The exchange offered valuable insights into the evolving role of Taiwan in Europe’s strategic landscape and highlighted the importance of strengthening partnerships among like-minded democracies.
HCSS expresses its sincere appreciation to His Excellency and the Taiwanese delegation for their engagement in this timely and meaningful discussion.
