- Heavy rain in southern Taiwan has left at least two people dead after their car plunged into a valley in Kaohsiung. Rescue efforts are still underway.
- Former British prime minister Boris Johnson is set to make his first visit to Taiwan and deliver a keynote speech at the annual Ketagalan Forum next Tuesday.
- Food experts discuss sustainable practices and environmental impacts at this year’s Taiwan Culinary Exhibition.
