Thank you to all the foreign diplomats who joined us to celebrate our 🇹🇼 National Day. Your continued support for #Taiwan is deeply appreciated by our people & government.
Delighted to welcome Sen. Dodd & Deputy Secretaries Armitage & Steinberg this morning. I enjoyed our productive discussions on further advancing the #Taiwan🇹🇼-🇺🇸#US partnership & cooperating to ensure stability, peace, & prosperity in the Indo-Pacific.
This New Year’s Day I addressed the people of #Taiwan & had a special message for all our international friends. With your help & support, Taiwan will be an even greater force for good in the world in 2021 & beyond. Full speech: english.president.gov.tw/NEWS/6089
#Taiwan’s ability to contain the #COVID19 outbreak is a tribute to our unity & resilience. It also speaks to the collaboration between our government, people, & the many private businesses that have ramped up production to protect public health & make the impossible possible:
Any experienced traveler knows that here in #Taiwan, we take our street delicacies seriously. I had the chance to play #foodie for a day at the famous Feng Chia Night Market, and the sights, sounds, & flavors did not disappoint!
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Unprecedented threats from authoritarian actors will not deter us in #Taiwan from working with our partners around the world to uphold liberal values & strengthen democratic institutions.
We truly appreciate @jacindaardern speaking up for #Taiwan's participation in the @WHO. We cherish the common values we share with #NewZealanders, that is democracy, human rights, & rule of law, principles that are important to who we are as Taiwanese.
For this year's annual Han Kuang military exercises in #Taiwan, I boarded a destroyer to watch our Navy & Air Force in action. Their execution of a range of live-fire drills gives me confidence in our military's ability & determination to respond to any contingency.
We’re turning #Taiwan into Asia’s green energy hub! At the 2020 Energy Taiwan Exhib. I laid out our plans to ensure a stable green energy supply & grow Taiwan’s renewable energy into a major global player. We have a vision for a greener world & are determined to see it through.
Our armed forces work around the clock to keep #Taiwan safe, & I’m fully committed to supporting them. My administration will continue working to provide better accommodations for our service members to work, rest, & raise their families as they defend our country.
It's great spending time with such great friends of Taiwan at the #ECCT Europe Day Dinner. #Taiwan and #Europe have always worked together to promote our economic development. By beginning discussions for a #BIA, we can open the door to an even more concrete partnership.
Ending a very productive & rewarding time in Belize, I visited an exhibit of the #Taiwan-#Belize #WomenEmpowerment project. With such promising results, we look forward to seeing even more women realize their goals and being all that they can be.
They say 7 is a lucky number, & I truly do feel blessed to have reached 700,000 followers & to have the opportunity to lead #Taiwan for the next 4 years. Your likes & retweets help me share Taiwan’s story & help our beacon of democracy shine bright for the world to see.
A warm welcome to Senator @LindseyGrahamSC, @SenatorMenendez, @SenatorBurr, @senrobportman, @SenSasse, Representative @RonnyJacksonTX & your delegation from the #US. You're all true friends to #Taiwan & I look forward to working with you to strengthen our countries’ partnership.
As a member of the international community, we ask that #China share information with us regarding the #Wuhan coronavirus. I firmly believe that our people’s right to health should come before all political considerations, & #Taiwan deserves to participate in @WHO proceedings.
Minister Wu saw off a 40-strong #Taiwan🇹🇼 search & rescue team heading to #Türkiye🇹🇷. We remain ever grateful for the country’s immediate help after the devastating 921 earthquake in 1999, & now it’s our turn to hit the ground running.
Today we recorded our first domestic case of #COVID19 in 253 days. This is a reminder to everyone in #Taiwan to stay vigilant. It shows that the pandemic is far from over, & that international cooperation is key, because we're all in this together.
A pleasure to meet with the Canadian delegation led by @JohnMcKayLib & see a consensus on bolstering #Taiwan-#Canada ties. The words of Mr. McKay, “Taiwan's issues are Canada's issues” & vice versa, remind us to continue deepening our partnership to protect our shared values.
Have you ever tried Taiwanese produce? Delighted to share that pineapples from #Taiwan will soon be available in #Australia, & our lettuce will be sold in #SaudiArabia.
A pleasure to meet with the European Parliament @EP_Democracy delegation to discuss cooperation against disinformation & cyberattacks. A stronger #Taiwan-#EU partnership will help us better address these common threats & protect our shared democratic values.
Food plays a big part in holidays in #Taiwan. We may be best known for our bubble tea, but Taiwan has so much more to offer & we welcome you to visit & try our incredible cuisine for yourselves. #TaiwanIsOpen

Thank you to #Poland for providing #Taiwan with 400,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses. Your donation reflects the democratic solidarity shared by our countries & peoples in the face of common challenges.
Curious why postal trucks in #Taiwan have started flying red flags? It turns out, they’re on a very important mission:
Thank you for your donation of 20,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses. The peoples and governments of #Taiwan & #Lithuania stand together in fighting the pandemic, and we will continue to expand our partnership based on our shared belief in freedom & democracy. twitter.com/LithuanianGovt…
