On 15 August 2014, Leu, Shen and other government officials attended the founding assembly for the Committee for the Promotion of Support in North America for Taiwan's entry into Regional Economic Organizations, which aimed to bring together power of the overseas Chinese community to exert influence to help Taiwan join regional economic organizations.
