Group urges Asia Cement to negotiate with locals

Thursday, 18 July 2019 05:15 Taipei Times

The Taipei High Administrative Court on Thursday last week asked the Ministry of Economic Affairs to revoke its approval of the firm’s permit renewal for the mine, after four Truku people filed a lawsuit against the ministry in 2017.
