At the end of May, National Fire Agency Director-General Hsiao Huan-chang led a delegation to Japan for the International Fire Chiefs’ Association of Asia General Conference. In a major diplomatic breakthrough for Taiwan, Hsiao came back with two pieces of good news. First, Taiwan will host the association’s General Conference in 2030. Second, in a first for Taiwan, the director-general of the National Fire Agency will assume the association’s vice presidency in 2028.

National Fire Agency Director-General Hsiao Huan-chang led a delegation to Nagoya, Japan, to participate in the International Fire Chiefs’ Association of Asia General Conference. He brought back two pieces of great news.
Hsiao Huan-chang
National Fire Agency Director-General
Taiwan will host the 36th IFCAA General Conference in 2030. In 2028, we will go to Tokyo, which is hosting the conference that year, and take over responsibilities for the following conference. The organizers in Tokyo have also expressed hope that Taiwan will serve as the association’s vice president in 2028.
This would mark the first time the association has selected a Taiwanese vice president. In 2030, fire chiefs from around the globe will gather in Taiwan for the group’s General Conference. These achievements show that the international community recognizes Taiwan’s disaster relief capabilities.

Taiwan and Japan are prone to typhoons, earthquakes, and floods. Last year, Taiwan even faced a tsunami warning. Our shared goal is to ensure that the lessons we have learned through experience and training are passed on, so that other countries don’t repeat the same mistakes.

I think it’s incredibly moving. It’s a breakthrough for us in terms of diplomacy, firefighting, and disaster relief.
Taiwan’s firefighting and disaster relief capabilities are shining brightly on the international stage.
