The Executive Director of the STP, Mr. José Molinas Vega; and the Ambassador of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in Paraguay, Mr. Alexander Yui; were invited to attend the meeting.

Universities in Taiwan, including National Taiwan University, National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University, and National Cheng Kung University among others, are among the prestigious universities that outstanding students in Paraguay have an opportunity to win a CAL scholarship to attend.

Details of the different scholarship programs offered by the Taiwan Government of the Republic of China were also provided. The former students who had won a scholarship and studied in Taiwan emphasized that Taiwan has had many breakthroughs in technology fields and that the great amount of knowledge they gained trough their studies can be applied in Paraguay.
