📚Education was at the heart of this visit—strengthening partnerships to support the continued development of the University of Belize. We also valued the inclusion of cultural exchange, reinforcing shared values and deepening the connection between the people of Taiwan and Belize.
Last week’s engagement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of Belize in Taiwan welcomed CEO Dian Castillo-Maheia of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Technology, alongside a distinguished delegation from the University of Belize: Dr. Vincent Palacio (President), Egbert Irving (Director of Institutional Advancement), and Adelita Zayden (Associate Dean, Preclinical Sciences, School of Medicine).
Through engagements with key partners—including the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Education, and 14 universities such as National Taiwan University, National Chengchi University, and Meiho University—we explored collaboration in nursing, medical sciences, marine biology, business, and tourism & hospitality.
A key highlight was the signing of an MOU with Meiho University, marking the third agreement between the University of Belize and Taiwan’s academic institutions—further strengthening a growing partnership.
We thank all partners and look forward to advancing these engagements into meaningful, long-term collaboration in education and capacity building.
