The Embassy of St. Kitts and Nevis to Taiwan has donated 10 books to Basseterre’s Sister-City Tainan. The books, featuring authors from St. Kitts and Nevis, were handed over during a book donation ceremony in Tainan City.
In what is seen as an initiative to deepen the relationship between St. Kitts and Nevis and Tainan, the St. Kitts and Nevis Embassy in Taiwan has donated books to the Tainan City Government. The book donation ceremony was organized on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, in Tainan City.
Ambassador Donya Lynex Francis was present at the donation ceremony and was seen personally handing the books over to the Mayor of Tainan, Huang Wei-che, who accepted the books on behalf of the Tainan City Government.
The Ambassador has expressed his hope for the books to “deepen connections between the people of both nations” as they get to learn more about the country’s culture and history, as well as a few children’s stories that are considered popular in St. Kitts.
Ambassador Francis also shared that the donated books are a ‘tangible expression’ of the sister-city agreement that was signed by Basseterre and Tainan last November.
The Embassy further revealed that they, too, have received two books from Mayor Huang Wei-che, who has also invited the Ambassador and his team to host a cultural display at the Tainan City Hall.
A total of ten books were donated and, according to the information provided by the St. Kitts and Nevis Embassy, the books will be circulated in the Tainan Public Library System.
These donated books were written by different authors from St. Kitts and Nevis, including Carol Ottley-Mitchell, Caryl Phillips, Coryn Anaya Clarke, Donya L. Francis, Kayrisa Kelly and Vanessa L. Webbe.
