I want to thank all of our friends in the #US Congress who came to show their support for #Taiwan during our stopover in #NewYork. Taiwan will never waver in its commitment to freedom, democracy, & human rights, and our like-minded partners stand with us. #JFDS2019
#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!
#Taiwan’s story is one of perseverance, of a commitment to democracy at all costs. Today I had the opportunity to share our story at @Columbia, and together we looked toward the next chapter in the tale of Taiwan’s democratic success. #JFDS2019 Full text: bit.ly/2ScWqmS
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 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’s a pleasure to land in #NewYorkCity to meet with like-minded friends old and new. This city has long been a destination for people from all over the world seeking freedom, so it’s a good place to start my Journey of Freedom, Democracy, Sustainability #JFDS2019.
This month, I will embark on the Journey of Freedom, Democracy, Sustainability to 4 of #Taiwan’s #Caribbean allies, making transit stops in the #US. Over the course of the visit, we will renew our commitment to shared values and ensure a brighter future for all. #JFDS2019
I had a wonderful time meeting with our allies’ Permanent Representatives to the #UN @TaiwanInNewYork. We toasted to our countries’ friendship and their steadfast support for #Taiwan’s international participation. #JFDS2019
Today’s Business Summit was testament to the growing momentum of #Taiwan-#US business ties. It was terrific to have a chance to meet business leaders & discuss how we can explore more collaboration opportunities in the future. #JFDS2019
Ready for take-off! I’m delighted to launch my #JFDS2019 today, & look forward to seeing our #Caribbean allies soon. Everyone in my delegation is excited about our mission, determined to share Taiwan values like freedom and democracy, and promote sustainable development. #SDGs
Any state visit is a group effort. Before we embark on my Journey of Freedom, Democracy, Sustainability tomorrow, I want to thank my team as they are all working hard on the advance work, logistics, security, & all the details to ensure a successful #JFDS2019
Cheers to a lasting #Taiwan-#US friendship. Delighted to enjoy a banquet with more than 1,000 Taiwanese Americans & friends of Taiwan on our last night in New York. Their support for our diplomatic mission is heartwarming as we continue on our #JFDS2019.
I want to thank @Columbia for inviting me to share #Taiwan’s democratic success story, discuss our current challenges, and reaffirm our commitment to promoting and preserving democracy at home, and throughout the world. #JFDS2019 twitter.com/Columbia/statu…
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.
Spent the morning strolling through Central Park with young, active members of our overseas Taiwanese community. We shared stories about our time living in New York, and their experiences in advocating for #Taiwan on the international stage. #JFDS2019
On this long journey far from home, nothing feels better than the warm welcome I received from the #Taiwanese community in #NYC. #JFDS2019
Proud to see our Air Force keeping our skies safe as I embark on #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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
