It’s both an honour & a privilege to address the #CDS2020. This event testifies to our commitment to #DefendDemocracy, and our determination to band together in mutual support, safeguard the values we hold dear, & deepen our ties with democracies around the world. twitter.com/AoDemocracies/…

Today at #CDS2020 I talked about why a democratic #Taiwan has an important role to play in global affairs. We stand on the frontline of the community of democracies, and remain a critical asset in the fight against the #COVID19 pandemic & authoritarian forces worldwide.
Freedom is not free. It is something we have to work for and defend every day. In #Taiwan we never take our hard-earned freedom for granted, & as we build, renew, & sustain democracy at home, we are supporting democracy in our region & around the world. #CDS2020 #DefendDemocracy
From last year’s anti-extradition movement to recent national security law legislation, the deterioration of democracy in #HongKong concerns me & many in #Taiwan. At #CDS2020, I reaffirmed our resolve to stand in solidarity with #HKers who cherish freedom & #DefendDemocracy.
