2. Establish a platform for international exchanges and cooperation in agriculture
  During the training, participants from countries around the world establish a platform where they share expertise and experiences, which substantially benefit the participants and their countries as well.

 
3. Share Taiwan Experience and return to international community
  Taiwan’s economic development achievements and experiences have been widely recognized by the countries around the world. Conducting international training courses does not only share Taiwan Experience to the world, but also shows our country’s efforts and contribution in returning more to the international community.
ICLPST alumni are warmly received at the Center and treated with hospitality by Taiwanese during their stay.  When they return to their countries, they receive great attention from their government and are assigned to key positions to contribute what they have learned in Taiwan.
