Taiwan Railways Administration under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, and the Forestry Bureau under the Council of Agriculture concluded two memorandums of understanding with Swiss railway operator Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn. These pave the way for bilateral collaboration spanning a broad spectrum of areas.
The memorandums establish sister relations between Taiwan’s iconic narrow-gauge Alishan Forest Railway and MGB, along with its subsidiary Gornergrat Bahn.
Under the TRA-MGB memorandum, the two organizations will exchange information and share experiences in business operations, development strategies and talent cultivation, as well as jointly organize marketing campaigns and projects of mutual interest. The Forestry Bureau-MGB memorandum covers many of the same areas, in addition to major station and website promotions.
“It’s a perfect match of two world-class railways,” Premier Chang San-cheng said, adding that he expects the partnerships to enhance people-to-people exchanges and promote tourism in Asia and Europe.
