Global Affairs Canada says a Canadian missing for days after a powerful earthquake in Taiwan has been found safe.

Global Affairs spokesman Pierre Cuguen says in a statement that consular officials have been in contact with local authorities about the citizen and have reached out to the man’s family.

Central News Agency, a partially government-funded news agency, cited the Central Emergency Operation Center as saying the Canadian man is now camped near a hotel in Taiwan’s Taroko National Park.
