今朝目に入ったニュース。小さなニュースだが重要だと思う。

4人のパラオの青年が台湾の、なんと海軍学校に入学。これから4年間学ぶ、という。勿論無料だ。海上警察ではない。海軍だ。

パラオに海軍はないが、米国の台湾関係法の一環であろうか?

パラオに海軍能力があるとすれば米国、即ちインド太平洋軍の完全な管理下のはずだ。

Four young Palauans availed free education and training at the Taiwan Naval Academy in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, Republic of China (Taiwan).

The four young Palauans namely Francis Tkel, Shandle Techitong, Vincent Abedneko, and Kemdrang Sengebau are taking different courses in the fields of marine science, statistics, etc.

Palau’s ambassador to Taiwan Dilmei Olkeriil told Island Times via messenger that the four students are fully funded by the Taiwan government with no cost on the part of Palau.

While attending the academy, the four young Palauans also receive provisions of meal and monthly stipends and live on the campus.

Under the program, the students will attend the academy for four years. During the first year of their studies, they will be taught the Chinese language and also attend physical training during the summer.
