Mongolian and Tibetan AffairsAs introduced by the Yearbook of the Republic of China:
The Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission (MTAC) under the Executive Yuan provides services for Mongolians and Tibetans worldwide. The commission has organizations in many foreign countries, including the United States, Canada, Germany, and Switzerland, to serve local Mongolian and Tibetan communities. The MTAC's goals are to build and maintain a worldwide liaison network for Mongolians and Tibetans, offering programs to improve their living conditions and raise their level of education. The commission also offers a scholarship program for outstanding overseas Mongolian and Tibetan students to complete their education. Currently, there are about 400 Mongolians and 400 Tibetans living in Taiwan. Most of them are Buddhists, though a few are Muslims. To help them better adapt to Taiwan society, the MTAC promotes cultural activities and offers language classes at its Mongolian and Tibetan Cultural Center in Taipei. |
