Following on from recent TKU Diamond Jubilee celebrations, the TKU Graduate Institute of International Affairs and Strategic Studies partnered up with the Ministry of National Defence to jointly host a TKU 60th Anniversary National Defence and Military Exhibition. The event was held at the Tamsui Campus on the 25th of November. To open the event, brief speeches were made by the President of TKU Dr. Flora Chia-I Chang and Ministry of National Defence spokeswoman Major-General Lisa Chi.

This was the first exhibition by the Ministry of National Defence to be held at the TKU Campus. It showcased close to 20 different kinds of light and heavy military equipment, including traditional weapons such as rifles and trench mortars, and other military items such as a Hummer truck, a field medical vehicle, and chemical rescue equipment. Students were even allowed to experience operating some of the safer items in the display.

The exhibition was a chance to not only celebrate the long history of the Graduate Institute of International Affairs and Strategic Studies, which was one of the first institutes of its kind to be established in Taiwan, but was also an opportunity to provide students with a more in-depth understanding of Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence.
