The Treaties between the Republic of China (Taiwan) and Foreign States series began publication in 1957. Treaties Volume 24, released in November 2022, is composed of treaties and agreements signed with other countries and international organizations concerning cooperation in domains such as the economy, trade, investment, education, culture, science, technology, legal affairs, diplomatic and consular affairs, intellectual property rights, public health, medicine, agriculture, fisheries, and development aid. The Treaties series is available to the public at the National Central Library.
Treaties Volume 24 includes 41 treaties and agreements signed between 2020 and 2021. Of these, a number focus on human rights issues such as medical cooperation, prisoner transfer and transportation safety.
To promote cultural diplomacy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) has been participating in Archives Month displayed by the National Central Library, during which time special exhibits are held in cooperation with foreign libraries. With the Treaties series exhibit, MOFA hopes to enhance the public’s understanding of diplomatic efforts, raise Taiwan’s international visibility, encourage academic and cultural exchanges, and attract and cultivate talented professionals in the field of international law. On the other hand, National Library of Public Information is preparing an exhibit of the Treaties series in Taichung in the near future as well. Agreements in the Treaties series and related news can be found on the MOFA website at http://no06.mofa.gov.tw/mofatreatys/IndexE.aspx. The collection itself can be purchased from government publication booksellers. The Ministry of Justice has also uploaded each agreement separately to the Laws and Regulations Database of the Republic of China (Taiwan) at https://law.moj.gov.tw/Eng/Index.aspx.
