National Taipei University and the Embassy of the Republic of Haiti in Taiwan Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Strengthen Higher Education Cooperation and Talent Development
National Taipei University (NTPU) held a signing ceremony for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at its Sanxia Campus on May 19, 2026. The agreement was signed by President Daw-Tung Lin of National Taipei University and H.E. Roudy Stanley Penn, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Haiti to the Republic of China (Taiwan), formally establishing a partnership between the two institutions. This collaboration marks the University's first academic cooperation agreement with a foreign embassy in Taiwan. It not only represents a significant expansion of NTPU's international partnerships, but also opens a new chapter in higher education, public governance, and talent development between Taiwan and its Caribbean ally, Haiti.
The signing ceremony was hosted by President Lin and attended by several university administrators, including Dean of International Affairs Thijs Velema, Dean of the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Chan-Yun Yang, Dean of the International College Chia-Ying Chan, Dean of the College of Social Sciences Chao-Yin Lin, Associate Vice President for International Affairs Jung-Ying Chang, Secretary of the College of Business Chun-Yu Lin, Secretary of the College of Humanities Chung-Tang Cheng, Chinese Language Center Instructor Hsiao-Jou Yang, and Director of the Division of International Cooperation Kenneth Han Chen. The participation of deans and administrative staff from across the University demonstrated NTPU's strong commitment to advancing cooperation with the Republic of Haiti in higher education, public governance, and talent development.
In his remarks, President Lin described the signing of the MOU as an important milestone in deepening cooperation between National Taipei University and the Republic of Haiti. He noted that future collaboration will focus on sustainable development, talent cultivation, and policy-oriented research, with particular emphasis on globally significant issues such as urban development, governance, business, and sustainability. President Lin further stated that cooperation has already begun to take shape. Relevant academic and administrative units within NTPU's International College for Sustainability Innovations will engage in online discussions with Haitian partners to explore educational opportunities and future directions for collaboration. He also invited all colleges to participate in interdisciplinary initiatives and expressed his hope to expand cooperation through student exchanges, faculty exchanges, dual degree programs, and professional training courses. President Lin expressed his appreciation to Ambassador Penn for his continued efforts to strengthen bilateral ties and recalled the University's participation in the celebration marking the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Taiwan and Haiti, hosted by the Haitian Embassy in late April. He emphasized that the signing represents not only the completion of an agreement, but also the beginning of a long-term and meaningful partnership.
In his remarks, Ambassador Penn noted that during his visit to National Taipei University on April 21, both sides held in-depth discussions on education, local governance, and public policy. The formal signing of the MOU, he said, demonstrates that these fruitful discussions have now been transformed into concrete action. He emphasized that the agreement establishes an institutional foundation for practical cooperation and will serve as an important mechanism for implementing substantive projects. Ambassador Penn highlighted Haiti's strong interest in enhancing local governance capacity and expressed hope that Haiti can draw upon Taiwan's successful experience in local administration and community development. He also announced plans to jointly develop short-term professional training programs with NTPU to help Haitian public officials strengthen governance and public service effectiveness. The two parties have scheduled an online meeting on June 8 to discuss course content, priorities, funding arrangements, and implementation strategies to ensure the successful advancement of this collaboration.
This partnership highlights National Taipei University's ongoing efforts to expand its global network of partners and reflects the University's mission to promote sustainable development and social progress through higher education. Looking ahead, NTPU will continue to deepen cooperation with government institutions and higher education partners around the world, while cultivating talented individuals equipped with global perspectives and cross-cultural competencies.
