BELIZE PARLIAMENT BUILDING TO GET AIRCONDITIONING COURTESY OF GIFT OF TAIWAN

Belize is a tropical country, so it is no joke to expect the hot air from a summers day, be able to cool down the House of Representatives when it is in session. This House of Representatives is much the same as a Congress in Republican systems of government.

Taiwanese Ambassador, His Excellency Ting Joseph Shih told the SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE Emil Arguelles that he was supplying a cheque for the funds to buy air conditioning for the building. Ambassador Shih promptly handed over a cheque for $40,000. Taiwan is constantly assisting Belize with both technical expertise, scholarships to University, trade trips and financial aid to the cash strapped nation of Belize . Without the AID from Taiwan , Belize would be in real tough shape. We as a nation are very grateful.
