TAIWAN’S FOREIGN MINISTER TO BRING KUAI KUAI CULTURE TO ST KITTS AND NEVIS
While he was on his official visit, Taiwan’s FM stated that he is planning to bring the Kuai Kuai culture to St Kitts and Nevis. Kuai Kuai is a tradition among the people of Taiwan, under which a snack named Kuai Kuai is placed on the new machines to bring good luck so that the machines operate smoothly.
Kuai Kuai in English means 'obedient' and ‘well behaved’ and it is believed that placing the snack on the machine will make it function smoothly for a longer period of time.
Notably, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan landed on the island of St Kitts and Nevis a few days ago following his visit to other Caribbean islands, including Saint Lucia, Belize, and St Vincent and Grenadines.
Upon his arrival, he was welcomed with open arms by the Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis at the international airport.
However, the Foreign Minister from Taiwan has now officially departed from St Kitts and Nevis following a luncheon hosted by PM Terrance Drew in honour of his visit and the strong diplomatic ties between the two nations.
The luncheon took place at the St Kitts Marriott Resort, which was joined by other key members of the federation and members of the delegation from Taiwan.
