African affairs get a local airing

PUBLIC IMAGE Participants at a symposium on Africa that ended on Friday say much work still needs to be done to portray the continent in a more positive light

The 76-year-old retired ambassador, who served as Taipei's ambassador to South Africa from 1990 to 1997, is scheduled to teach a course on Africa's influence on world politics at Tamkang University this autumn.

Anderson was upbeat on prospects for improving Africa's image in Taiwan.

"The initiatives of the APPAF here in Taiwan in trying to make people more aware of Africa is a very good first step toward bringing knowledge of Africa to Taiwan. Once you have knowledge of Africa, you'll see the opportunities that exist," Anderson said.
