Taiwan to allocate $56 mln in 2023 for civil infrastructure projects in Ukraine

To assist with the reconstruction of Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan has earmarked approximately $56 million in its 2023 budget for civil infrastructure projects, Caribbean News Global reported on Monday.

The ministry plans to engage in joint efforts to rebuild hospitals, schools, churches, power facilities, water supplies, bridges, and transportation through bilateral and multilateral avenues, the ministry announced on the one-year anniversary of the Russian military invasion.

"Since the war broke out, Taiwan's people and government have donated a total of 27 tonnes of medical supplies and over 700 tonnes of humanitarian relief. The aid from Taiwan was quickly delivered through Poland, Slovakia, and other neighboring countries to Ukrainians striving to protect their homes amid the war," the publication said.

In addition, Taiwan has donated more than $41 million for efforts made in coordination with neighboring countries – including Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Lithuania and international organizations to jointly resettle Ukrainian refugees.
