Former Taiwan President invited to consult on the economy

President Hipolito Mejia and Marino Ginebra, of the National Business Council (CONEP), formally invited former Taiwan President Lee Teng Hui to consult on fiscal economic reforms and social development. Teng Hui, who was president of Taiwan for 12 years, is considered responsible for the policies that lead that nation to major development. President Mejia invited him to come in November. His visit then would coincide with the celebration of an important forum on farming organized by the Interamerican Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture. IICA director, Carlos Aquino Gonzalez was with President Mejia, when the invitation was made in Taiwan. The former statesman said that he had a visit scheduled to El Salvador to consult with that government, but would consider traveling subsequently to Santo Domingo.
