#JFDS2019 showed once again that #Taiwan is a vital member of the international community in many ways. Throughout my visits, I was touched by the messages of strong support and encouragement from our like-minded friends in the #Caribbean and the #US. Go Taiwan!
As #JFDS2019 comes to a close, our determination to promote #Taiwan on the international stage has grown even more. Taiwan is an irreplaceable member of the international community, & we will continue to contribute to global freedom, democracy & sustainable development.
I want to thank @SenCoryGardner for introducing the beauty, culture, & innovation of his home state of #Colorado to our delegation & the Taiwanese people. Together we celebrated the #US-#Taiwan friendship & looked forward to an even stronger partnership to come. #JFDS2019
Fascinating to learn how @NREL applies cutting-edge technology to advance energy efficiency, making sure that science drives innovation. I look forward to more exchanges like today’s to help #Taiwan develop #RenewableEnergy, achieve the #SDGs, & become a #SmartNation. #JFDS2019
Taiwan’s collaboration with @NCAR_Science is giving the world a clearer picture of major weather events, making invaluable contributions to disaster preparedness, and training the next generation of atmospheric experts. #JFDS2019
As President, it is my responsibility to ensure the right of future generations to determine their future through democratic means. And seeing the work #Taiwan’s young people are doing gives me hope for a brighter tomorrow. #JFDS2019 bit.ly/2M1BHBr
It was wonderful to see @GovofCO, @SenCoryGardner, @RepDLamborn, Chairman Moriarty, #Colorado legislators, and Taiwanese Americans from across the #US at last night’s dinner. The people of #Taiwan thank you for your friendship. #JFDS2019
It was heartwarming to see so many Taiwanese Americans who had traveled all the way to #Denver to show their support for #Taiwan. #JFDS2019
As my dear friend @allenmchastanet said, good friends don’t say ‘goodbye, they say ‘see you again soon.’ I want to thank the people & government of #StLucia for giving our delegation the warmest of welcomes, & I look forward to what the future holds for our friendship. #JFDS2019
#Taiwan enjoys strong bipartisan support in the Parliament of #StLucia. I look forward to even more bilateral parliamentary exchanges in the future, and hope to see Senate President Giraudy-McIntyre & House of Assembly Speaker Daniel in Taiwan soon. #JFDS2019
Honoured to have the opportunity to address the Parliament of #StLucia today, where I outlined the many ways our countries are working together to achieve the #SDGs, and forging a brighter, more sustainable future for our peoples. #JFDS2019 bit.ly/2xSHFw3
I have always believed that we should turn digital divides into digital opportunities. Today we launched the second phase of the #Taiwan-#StLucia GINet project, which will bring wireless internet access to more people across the island. #JFDS2019
Today’s heat didn’t stop young St. Lucians from coming out to support #Taiwan before my address to Parliament, accompanied by Prime Minister @allenmchastanet and Foreign Minister Sarah Flood-Beaubrun. #JFDS2019
Pleased to attend the St. Jude Hospital renovation groundbreaking ceremony. This is a prime example of how #TaiwanCanHelp, sharing our advanced medical expertise to improve healthcare and promote wellbeing in #StLucia, while helping to achieve the #UN #SDGs. #JFDS2019
Prime Minister @allenmchastanet gave our delegation a warm welcome on our arrival in #StLucia for the last leg of my Caribbean state visits. #JFDS2019
#Taiwan is committed to creating brighter futures for young Vincentians. I had a wonderful chat with #SVG Taiwan Alumni Association members & students preparing to embark on their journey to an advanced degree in Taiwan through our university scholarship program. #JFDS2019
Finally had the chance to meet #StVincentAndTheGrenadines Minister of Health Luke Browne, who so bravely spoke up for #Taiwan at this year’s #WHA. His words of support have stayed with me to this day, and strengthened the resolve of the Taiwanese people. #JFDS2019
When it comes to making the world a safer place, #TaiwanCanHelp. The two cooperation agreements we signed with #StVincentAndTheGrenadines today will help us share intelligence, and join forces in the fight against transnational crime. #JFDS2019
Thank you, #StKitts & #Nevis. Though our countries may be small, we have found ways to achieve big results together. While our time here has come to a close, I’ve certainly felt the depth of the friendship between our countries and peoples. #JFDS2019
Governor-General Seaton played a key role when #Taiwan became #StKitts & #Nevis’ first diplomatic ally in 1983. Since then, he has been a loyal friend & outspoken supporter, & I look forward to strengthening our friendship & cooperation for many years to come. #JFDS2019
Honoured to meet Sir Kennedy Alphonse Simmonds, a National Hero who played a major role in establishing #Taiwan-#StKitts & #Nevis diplomatic ties 36 years ago. He has been a loyal friend, and I admire his legacy of national unity and regional integration. #JFDS2019
#SDG 4: Obtaining a quality education is the foundation to creating sustainable development. The technical & vocational training agreement we signed today will equip young people in #StKitts & #Nevis with the practical skills they need to contribute to their country. #JFDS2019
Prime Minister @pmharriskn hosted us at a lovely banquet, complete with lively discussions. #Taiwan is collaborating with #StKitts & #Nevis in many different areas, & we look forward to strengthening our partnership to promote development & achieve the #SDGs. #JFDS2019
Many people would be surprised to learn that #US Founding Father Alexander Hamilton was born right here on #Nevis Island. Our tour of the island today brought us to his birthplace, where we learned how his #Caribbean upbringing led him to become a vanguard of democracy. #JFDS2019
Next stop: Pinney’s Beach on #Nevis Island. The boat ride offered spectacular views of this up-and-coming tourist haven’s white sand beaches and aquamarine waters, and I’m honoured to be the first president of #Taiwan to visit this island. #JFDS2019
