Taiwan asks Chad for oil
Securing diversified energy supply sources for Taiwan is an integral part of the Republic of China's diplomatic strategy, Foreign Affairs Minister Mark Chen (???) said in Ndjamena, the Chadian capital, yesterday.

In the face of China's global oil-shopping spree, Chen said, the Taiwan National Security Council has also adjusted Taiwan's security strategy to strengthen energy-acquisition efforts and instructed that Taiwan's oil-tapping arm should reach as far as Africa.

Chen, who arrived in the North African country for a two-day official visit on Tuesday, said that the Chadian government has signed a letter of intent with Taiwan's Chinese Petroleum Corp (CPC) to jointly prospect for oil in Chad, which is rich in petroleum reserves, particularly in the regions of Sedigui and Doba.
