Javier Ching-shan Hou, the representative of the Office for the Economic and Cultural Promotion of Taipei in Spain, has visited the 57th edition of the Girona Flower Festival (Temps de Flors) invited by Jordi Xuclà, member of Spanish Parlament elected by the Girona province citizens. The capital city of Taiwan, Taipei, organized in 2010 the Taipei International Flora Exposition, the first internationally recognized exposition to take place in Taiwan, and the seventh of its kind to take place in Asia. Javier Ching-shan Hou also held a meeting with representatives of local companies willing to export to Taiwan, and was also interested in promoting that young Taiwanese chefs could come to Girona to improve the skills in its excellence cooking environment.
