<p>Cooperation on renewable energy forms part of the UK’s commercial and economic
ties with Taiwan. In 2017 we agreed to initiate an official-level dialogue on energy
as a component of the annual Trade Talks. The first meeting took place in June 2018
in London between officials from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial
Strategy, the Department for International Trade, and a delegation led by Taiwan’s
Bureau of Energy. The dialogue focussed on renewable energy, particularly offshore
wind, grid stability and smart energy systems. Both sides agreed that there was value
in further dialogue and opportunities for businesses to work together on renewable
energy.</p><p>Broader energy and climate change cooperation between the UK and Taiwan
is part of our economic and commercial relationship. We expect this engagement to
continue in the margins of the 24<sup>th</sup> Conference of the Parties under the
UNFCCC next month, though no formal plans have yet been made. Broad cooperation is
vital for tackling this global issue.</p>
