🌍Taiwan International Youth Ambassadors Shine at the “Taiwan—Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Cultural Night”
Led by Head of Delegation Andy Liu and Deputy Head of Delegation Pei-Fen Hsieh, the 24 Taiwan International Youth Ambassadors who have distinguished themselves from 600 applicants visited Saint Vincent and the Grenadines from August 26th to 30th, 2026. The Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) organized a series of programs including courtesy calls, cultural performances, youth and basketball exchange, and visit to bilateral cooperation projects.
During the delegation’s visit to the Embassy, H.E. Fiona Fan, Ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan) stressed the importance of Value Diplomacy, as the steadfast friendship between the two countries flourish on the shared value of freedom and democracy, and Taiwan’s endeavor in deepening collaboration through the Diplomatic Allies Prosperity Project. Ambassador Fan encouraged the Youth Ambassadors to actively engage with Vincentian youth during their visit to jointly advance diplomatic efforts.
Following their arrival on August 26th, the Delegation paid a courtesy call on Hon. Fitzgerald Bramble, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade, Foreign Investment and Diaspora Affairs. Minister Bramble welcomed the delegation as the two countries celebrated 45 years of diplomatic ties, and looked forward to fostering connection and understanding between the peoples. On August 27th, the delegation paid a courtesy call on H.E. Stanley John, Governor-General of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, performed Taiwanese folk tunes with traditional instruments and engaged with Vincentian youth. The Governor-General graciously encouraged the youth to unleash their creativity in shaping the next era.
In the evening of August 27th, the Embassy and the Ministry of Youth, Sports, Culture and Creative Industries were proud to present the “Taiwan—Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Cultural Night.” The Governor-General graced the evening with His Excellency’s presence, while cabinet members including Hon. St. Clair Leacock, Deputy Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Minister Bramble, Hon. Kaschaka Cupid, Minister of Youth, Sports, Culture and Creative Industries, and Hon. Phillip Jackson, Minister of Education, Vocational Training and Innovation, Digital Transformation and Information, participated in the event after Parliament sitting. Acting Commissioner Trevor Bailey of Royal Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force, government officials, friends from arts and culture, students and media were present, packing Peace Memorial Hall with over 230 audiences.
In the remark, Ambassador Fan stressed the meaningfulness of the Delegation’s visit as Taiwan and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines celebrated 45th anniversary of steadfast diplomatic relation. The friendship has been manifested through critical infrastructure including Argyle International Airport and Kingstown Port Modernization, while youth empowerment has always been at the centre of policy priority for both governments. Taiwan has been actively promoting the “Taiwan Global Pathfinder Initiative,” enabling youth to fulfil their dreams in our allied country. Through culture, music and performing art, the friendship between the two countries will further surpass geographical boundaries and bring the hearts of peoples even closer.
Deputy Prime Minister Leacock commended the development, order, culture and resilience he had witnessed firsthand during his trip to Taiwan earlier this year, and encouraged youth to forge friendship that could continue to flourish through different stages of life, long as the diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Taiwan Youth Ambassadors presented “Melodious Island Sounds,” “The Beauty of Taiwanese Folklore,” and “Shine Shine Taiwan,” three main programs featuring Hakka culture, Taiwanese opera, martial arts, Taiwanese folk songs, rap, street dances, and “Team Taiwan” baseball cheering tunes to showcase different facets of culture that the people of Taiwan are extremely proud of. Vincentian performers presented traditional and African-Caribbean dances, and performed Taiwanese songs with steel pan. The highlight of the evening is Taiwan Youth Ambassadors’ joint performance in the traditional Vincentian dances “Tin-Go-Lay” and Maypole with only a few hours of rehearsal earlier in the day, demonstrating the fruitful outcomes of youth exchanges between Taiwan and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

國際青年大使造訪聖文森 「台灣─聖文森文化之夜」大放異彩
我國從近600位申請者中脫穎而出的24位「國際青年大使」，在劉團長翼平與謝副團長佩芬帶領下於2026年8月26日至30日造訪聖文森及格瑞那丁，駐聖文森國大使館安排行程涵蓋拜會、文化展演、青年交流、籃球友誼賽、參訪台聖技術合作計畫等。期間訪團至大使館拜會本館范大使惠君，范大使強調「價值外交」重要性，台聖關係正是在自由與民主共享價值下蓬勃發展，並透過「榮邦計畫」深化與聖文森在各領域之合作關係，鼓勵青年大使此行積極與聖國青年互動交流，共同推動外交工作。
8月26日抵達當日，聖國外交、外貿、投資暨僑務部長彭朗博((Fitzgerald Bramble)在外交部舉行歡迎儀式接待，彭部長表示2026年正值台聖建交45週年，盼青年強化兩國民間聯繫與促進相互理解。次日上午，青年大使訪團赴總督府拜會總督江士丹(H.E. Sir Stanley Kendrick John)，帶來傳統音樂小品演奏並與聖國青年互動，江總督勉勵青年發揮創意型塑新時代。
8月27日晚間，駐聖文森國大使館與聖國青年運動文化暨創意產業部合作盛大舉辦「台灣─聖文森文化之夜」，青年大使與聖國青年及表演團體共同帶來精采演出。聖國總督江士丹特別偕夫人與孫女出席；當日適逢聖國國會議事，許多閣員包含副總理李考克(St Clair Leacock)、外交部長彭朗博、青年文化部長Kaschaka Cupid及教育部長Phillip Jackson仍特別自議場趕至現場共襄盛舉展現支持，聖國皇家警察總署新任代理署長Trevor Bailey、諸多部會次長與官員、藝文界人士、學生與駐地媒體均到場，現場逾230人座無虛席，階梯亦擠滿人潮。
