Boosting traditional medicine: India makes donations to Taiwan
New Delhi: India donated 1.5 million rupee to Taiwan’s National Research Institute of Chinese Medicine (NRICM) as an attempt to boost cooperation in traditional medicine, media reports said.
The move was unprecedented as it marked the first time the Indian government made a donation to a Taiwanese government institution, as the NRICM resorts under the Ministry of Health and Welfare, Taiwan News reported quoting CNA.
The island’s representative office in the South Asian country spent years promoting exchanges between the traditional medicine sectors of the two sides, according to the report. India is one of 18 countries targeted by Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy, which was introduced in 2016, reported Taiwan News.
According to reports, India has already set up a permanent “AYUSH Information Cell” providing data about traditional Indian medicine and managing exchanges with the Chinese medicine community in Taiwan.
