Taiwan president thanks Micron CEO for his trust in Taiwan

TAIPEI: Taiwan President Lai Ching-te thanked memory chipmaker Micron’s Chief Executive Sanjay Mehrotra on Friday for his trust and continued investment in the island, in a rare public meeting with a senior foreign tech executive.

It is very unusual for Taiwan’s president to have publicised meetings with senior foreign tech executives despite the island being home to the world’s largest contract chipmaker TSMC, whose chips help to power the surge in artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
