Taiwan has sought Germany's help in securing Covid-19 vaccines, Reuters reported quoting Economy Minister Wang Mei-hua.
Berlin had asked for the island's assistance in easing a shortage of automobile semiconductor chips.
Wang told reporters she made the request at a meeting with Germany's de facto ambassador in Taipei, who handed her a letter seeking help to resolve the shortage, which is hampering the European nation's fledgling economic recovery from the pandemic.
At their meeting on Wednesday, Wang said, she told the head of the German mission in Taipei that she hoped Germany could “assist Taiwan in obtaining vaccines within the feasible range”.
