As a free & democratic country in #IndoPacific, #Taiwan is a natural party in Free & Open Indo-Pacific initiative. I trust that Taiwan has much to offer in showcasing benefits of freedom & openness, as well as value of rules-based order

#Taiwan ranks as the world’s 24th most connected country in @DeutschePostDHL’s Global Connectedness Index. We are not only trading with the interconnected world, we are also playing a positive role in the #IndoPacific & around the globe. bit.ly/2TMm1TQ

Taiwan’s strategic location & high-tech industry leadership make it an indispensable stakeholder in the international economy. The global supply chain will be severely impacted if Taiwan is deleted. I call on all countries to recognise #Taiwan’s value to the #IndoPacific & world.

My thanks to Speaker Kedi for the visit today. We discussed how a closer #Taiwan-#MarshallIslands partnership can benefit our two peoples & the #IndoPacific. Based on our shared values, I hope our good friend will continue to #SpeakUpForTaiwan.

#IndoPacific. #OceansOfDemocracy

The #Taiwan-#US partnership is a force for good in the #IndoPacific. I had a productive meeting with @TommyHicksGOP & his delegation about expanding our joint efforts & ensuring that our region remains free, open, & prosperous.

As #MarshallIslands Health Minister Kalani Kaneko rightfully said, we should not compromise when it comes to achieving #HealthForAll. #Taiwan serves as a transportation hub in the #IndoPacific region, our inclusion in the @WHO matters.
17
At the Taiwan Council for U.S. Affairs (formerly CCNAA) renaming ceremony, we witnessed another milestone in our #Taiwan-#US friendship. We will continue to live up to the democratic values that define this precious partnership, & a force for good in the #IndoPacific region.

#Taiwan is a leader in #WomensEmpowerment in the #IndoPacific, and I was delighted to share our experiences with advocates from 20 countries at the #PPSEAWA international conference. We discussed ways to ensure that our societies age with dignity, and the role women will play.

As regional partners, #Taiwan & #Australia have a vested interest in #IndoPacific security, so I was pleased to meet with @cpyne. During his tenure, he contributed much to our shared goals & values, & we will surely benefit from his insights into regional security issues.
23
Transnational drug crime requires transnational solutions, & those solutions took center stage at the 2019 International Forum on Police Cooperation. #Taiwan is working with many #IndoPacific countries to fight drug trafficking, & together we’re creating a safer, healthier world.
