There is a positive momentum among several brave Central European countries in opening up their political relations to Taiwan, so the job of security policy experts like ourselves and our Taiwanese friends is to use this diplomatic momentum for setting practical projects of cooperation and knowledge sharing. <\/em><\/p><p><em>My own experience here in Taiwan over last four months is clear &#8211; Taiwanese expert institutions are friendly and willing to share their knowledge, so that is what we are going to start doing. Our vision is that the EVC Taipei Office will serve as a Central European hub for practical national security focused cooperation and knowledge sharing. Our plans if to keep bringing Central European visiting fellows to our Taiwan Office, expand our security-related information exchange programs with friends like INDSR and others, or to keep bringing

And it recognizes Taiwan&#8217;s critical role in regional security. Just as Europe has a lot to offer Taiwan, Taiwan as a primary target of PRC malign activity has a deep expertise that it can share with European partners.
