Taiwan will allow Terry Gou, the billionaire founder of Taiwan's Foxconn (2317.TW), and TSMC (2330.TW) to negotiate on the government's behalf for COVID-19 vaccines, a spokesman said on Friday, but warned he couldn't guarantee success.

Lo said BioNTech had told Gou, who wants to make the purchase through his Yonglin Education Foundation, on Wednesday they will only sell vaccines to governments.

He said the government was, with the help of the German government, continuing its own talks with BioNTech, adding there was no guarantee Gou or anyone else would succeed. Earlier on Friday, Gou said he wanted to meet Tsai to discuss the proposal and that he had "absolutely no political or commercial intentions in this matter".

The presidential office said Tsai would meet Gou and TSMC Chairman Mark Liu later on Friday to discuss their proposals.
