On the 6th, he will continue to invite representatives from traditional industries and small and medium-sized enterprises for discussion. The government hopes to listen to the opinions and needs of the industry through these seminars, in order to provide maximum support and stabilize the economic situation. At the same time, Executive Yuan President Su Tseng-chang emphasized that a medium- to long-term response strategy should be gradually formulated, along with the proposal of an industry reassurance plan.

In response to the U.S. President's imposition of a 32% tariff on Taiwan, the President held a meeting with information and communication technology companies at the official residence this afternoon. Tomorrow, he will gather representatives from traditional industries and small and medium-sized enterprises for a second discussion, hoping that all sectors can express their actual needs and opinions face-to-face in these two meetings. The government will fully support the industry to stabilize the economic situation.

It is reported that attendees generally agree that the government should prudently utilize its leverage for negotiations and avoid rushing to disclose all information. They believe that policies to ensure industrial confidence should be proposed first, along with the formulation of medium- and long-term strategic responses.

The spokesperson of the Presidential Office stated that in order to cope with the global economic and trade challenges brought about by reciprocal tariffs, the President invited multiple representatives from the ICT industry for discussions. Tomorrow, he will again convene representatives from traditional industries and small and medium-sized enterprises to listen to industry opinions and needs, and to explain the government's response measures, aiming to ensure the global competitiveness of Taiwan's industries and maintain national interests and continuous stable economic development.

Today, the head of the Executive Yuan again convened the heads of the central bank, the Financial Supervisory Commission, and the Ministry of Finance to discuss financial measures in response to the challenges faced by the Taiwanese stock market and industries following the long weekend.

According to reports, the President convened a meeting with industry representatives today, where both parties engaged in in-depth communication and explored the support needed from the government for industries facing the current market environment. The head of the Executive Yuan also attended this meeting.

Attendees unanimously agreed on the necessity of establishing a strong presence in Taiwan while also launching a global strategy. Although each country has vastly different responses, the situations in each are not the same, and the final decision from the U.S. remains unclear and requires continuous observation. Participants supported the government negotiating on the basis of existing leverage without hastily revealing all strategies, and emphasized the need to first provide an industrial confidence plan, strategizing before taking action.
