The Ministry of Defence (MOD) routinely investigates ways to improve security cooperation and build capacity in CBRN resilience and response with partners across the region, however, in line with Government policy, the MOD has no official relationship with Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense and it would neither be appropriate nor practicable to undertake an assessment of their CBRN resilience.
