「臺灣鐵人隊」參加帛琉Konqer障礙賽拼外交
為了推廣觀光，「帛琉旅遊管理局」於本(107)年10月6日及7日分別在艾萊州及科羅州舉辦Konqer障礙賽，並希望我大使館協助宣傳此一新型態的運動旅遊活動，以吸引更多旅客來帛琉參賽旅遊。
我駐帛琉大使館除了資助帛琉旅遊管理局舉辦該項活動，國內亞洲旅遊臺並來帛拍攝活動過程廣為宣傳外，周民淦大使也親率館團10位同仁組成「臺灣鐵人隊」參加10月7日在科羅州舉辦的賽事。
Konqer賽事是由三項運動組成，包括游泳、跑步及通過16項障礙關卡，其中許多關卡設計如極限運動，即需體力良好之選手及團隊合作始能完成。本館為宣揚臺灣正面形象，在本館贊助的關卡上懸掛多面我國國旗。
我館團組成的臺灣鐵人隊發揮不屈不撓之精神，在歷經3小時的努力下成功完成各項活動，並獲得主辦單位及民眾夾道歡呼與支持。
本次賽事共有26個隊伍參賽，選手261名，計近千民眾到場觀賽。「帛琉旅遊管理局」表示，此是一場成功的活動，賽後並頒發感謝狀給我團隊及其他贊助商。
To promote Palau tourism, the Konqer Game staged by Palau Visitors Authority(PVA) and Konqer Sports in Airai and Koror State respectively on October 6th and 7th, 2018. The Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the Republic of Palau together with the PVA advertised this event to other countries in hope of reaching out to potential tourists in the year to come.
Taiwan Embassy not only funded the Konqer Game held by PVA and invited Travel Asia Channel to film, but also constituted a team of 10 named “Taiwan Ironman”.
Konqer Game includes swimming, jogging and 16 obstacle courses. These obstacles require not only strength, but also good strategies and teamwork to be able to complete. To promote the positive image of Taiwan, Flags of Republic of China (Taiwan) were hanged on of the obstacle sponsored by the Embassy.
With the unwavering determination and excellent teamwork, Taiwan Ironman Team finally completed all the obstacles in 3 hours and received the cheers and supports from PVA and spectators.
26 teams, 261 participants and almost a thousand spectators attended the Konqer Game this year. After the event, PVA awarded certificates to Taiwan Embassy and other sponsors. It is a very successful event this year, said PVA.
