WASHINGTON — Former US Deputy State Department Keith Krach is scheduled to visit Taiwan on Wednesday (August 9). The visit comes three years after Krach’s previous historic trip to Taiwan as the highest-ranking current US State Department official in 40 years.
Three main axes of Krach’s visit to Taiwan include strengthening global technology security, launching the Taiwan Innovation and Prosperity Center, and expanding Taiwan’s role in the global trusted technology network.
Krach is co-chair of the institute’s Global Technology Security Commission, a committee composed of senior public and private sector leaders from the United States and technologically advanced democracies such as Taiwan, to develop a global technology security strategy (GTSS), to establish a Global Trusted Tech Network to accelerate innovation and adoption of trusted technologies. Taiwan’s Minister of Digital Development Tang Feng is one of the committee members and the chairman of the National Institute of Information Security Research, which was established in February this year.
