印度能在多元社會體系下,逐步型塑人民共識,邁向繁盛民主國家的歷程,至今,仍為世界各國所津津樂道。台灣同樣作為強調多元價值並存之新盛民主國家,若能在台印雙方「共享民主價值」的對話框架下,與印度進行更多的經驗交流與知識分享行動,強化彼此對於各別社會總成目標的理解,則雙方互惠交流的可能性,除可望有效提升,另亦可促使雙方共同持續為亞洲的民主、和平與繁榮做出耀眼貢獻。
India’s experience to build up the commonwealth of Indian people through the democratic process in spite of her social multiplicity and diversity is indeed highly praised and honored by the world. If Taiwan, as the same kind of the flourishingly democratic country as India could proceed more experience-exchanging and knowledge-sharing with India to facilitate the bilateral understanding on each own collective country goal in the framework of “Taiwan and India share the democratic value with each other”. It not only will broaden the space for both to be beneficial to each other, but also can make the bilateral relationship to make more significant contribution to Asian democracy, peace and prosperity.
印度擁有龐大經濟發展動能,可充份做為世界各國拓展銷售市場以及分散產能集中風險的新興市場選項。台灣則以擁有韌性、彈性、多樣化特色皆具的龐大中小企業著稱亞洲,並有佔居世界一二、舉足輕重的強勁跨國企業,當前若能以其豐厚國際產銷、製造經驗與多樣化的企業活力,系統化地將印度當前的經濟發展的能量,轉化為台灣拓展市場、分散產能集中化風險的利基,則雙方共享經濟交流的廣大利益,亦將指日可待。
India has the strong economic development mobility in abundance for every country in the world to draw more the global market leverage while Taiwan has the prestige to have plenty of SMEs of tenacity, flexibility and diversity and the world-class MNEs in the world. If Taiwan could use her vitality of international marketing, manufacturing and diversity management to transform India’s speedy economic development to become the niche for Taiwan to enlarge her global market boundaries, and to diversify the risk on venturing too centrally. The reciprocal relationship between Taiwan and India will be undoubtedly strong just in coming days.
