Tel Aviv, Jan. 22 (CNA) Taiwan has donated two unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) command vehicles to the Turkish city of Istanbul to help boost its disaster preparedness.

At a donation ceremony on Tuesday, Taiwan’s representative to Turkey Huang Chih-yang (黃志揚) said it was important to strengthen Instanbul’s disaster response capabilities, given the high risk of earthquakes in the region and the city’s dense population of over 16 million.

The two drone command vehicles, which carry high-tech equipment, support a new disaster relief model that uses the latest drone technology, Huang said.

The new model incorporates the experience of drone operators who have worked in disaster relief in both Turkey and Taiwan, he said.
