Taipei City: A day after the Taiwanese Labour Minister made contentious remarks about the skin colour, religion and diets of some Indians ahead of a mass recruitment drive, it has now swung into damage control mode. In a statement, the Taiwanese Foreign Ministry apologised for the comments made by Hsu Ming-chun during an interview. She said the island nation “may start recruiting migrant workers from India’s northeast region where people have similar skin colour and diets like us”.
