Taipei: President Lai Ching-te has appointed Lin Hsin-jen, currently serving as the deputy head of the Tourism Administration, as Taiwan's new deputy representative to Indonesia. The announcement was made through a Presidential Order issued by the Presidential Office on Saturday, though the specific date for Lin to assume his new role in Jakarta was not disclosed.

According to Focus Taiwan, a diplomatic source revealed on Sunday that Lin's appointment is strategically aimed at leveraging his extensive experience in multi-domain integration.
