MOFA and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center (TECC) in India are providing assistance to Taiwanese nationals in the country as necessary as the COVID-19 pandemic there worsens, and that could include arranging charter flights, Ou said.
To date, the TECC has provided frequent updates of information relating to travel and vaccine inoculation in India on its official website, Ou said.

Taipei, May 3 (CNA) The Cabinet on Monday proposed to move a controversial liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal from its planned location further away from the coast in northern Taiwan to avoid damaging a coastal algal reef environmentalists want protected.
The proposal was presented by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) at a meeting earlier Monday attended by Cabinet officials and lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) at the invitation of Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌).

Ministry pushes LNG project farther offshore
‘NO LONGER AFFECTED’: With the LNG facility an additional 455m away from shore, the project would no longer require dredging the ocean floor, the ministry said
By Angelica Oung / Staff reporter
The Ministry of Economic Affairs yesterday announced that it would move a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) project off Taoyuan farther from shore to “minimize any impact on algal reefs.”
In an effort to prevent the project from being blocked by a referendum, the ministry said that it had updated its proposal for the nation’s third LNG receiving terminal to move it another 455m from shore.
