Taiwan's youth ambassadors are in Palau, bringing a new type of diplomacy with them: drones. It's Taiwan's new push to share its tech with like-minded allies such as Palau, which officially recognizes Taipei over Beijing. The ambassadors staged an intense performance simulating a search-and-rescue operation, accompanied by live music. Palau Community College signed an MOU for drone training and cooperation with Taiwan's foreign ministry-supported Global UAV Academy.
