Today marks one year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In defending their country, the #Ukrainian people have inspired the world with incredible bravery & determination. #Taiwan is proud to #StandWithUkraine & will continue to support our partners in democracy & freedom.
It was an honour to meet with the search & rescue team #Taiwan deployed to the earthquake response effort in #Türkiye. Seeing how they selflessly & tirelessly provided aid where it was most needed, I can safely say: You are all real heroes & we're proud of you.
I have been heartened by the outpouring of compassion from the Taiwanese people following the earthquakes in #Türkiye & #Syria. These orchids, produced in #Taiwan, reflect our concern & hopes for a strong recovery.
Glad to welcome the bipartisan delegation led by @RepRoKhanna & to see @RepTonyGonzales back in Taiwan. By continuing to deepen the #Taiwan-#US partnership, we will find more opportunities for cooperation & strengthen our resilience, post-pandemic & beyond.
As we become better equipped to manage the pandemic, #Taiwan is easing certain restrictions to help life get safely back to normal. From today, apart from specified venues, masks are no longer required indoors, so you can look forward to seeing more smiles wherever you are.
Today #Paraguay President @MaritoAbdo joined me at a Hualien airbase to witness #Taiwan's military capabilities. I was delighted to present the president, a former paratrooper, with a parachute cord – a symbol of our countries’ strong bond & commitment to national security.
It’s a thrill to accompany @iingwen on a trip introducing our great ally & close #Paraguay friend @MaritoAbdo to #Hualien, one of the most beautiful places in #Taiwan & home to a prominent air force base. JW
Glad to welcome #Paraguay President @MaritoAbdo & First Lady @silvana_abdo back to #Taiwan. For more than 65 years our countries have stood together through good times & bad. Today our relations are stronger than ever & we will ensure that our partnership continues to grow.
Grateful to see our search & rescue team touch down safely in #Taiwan after their service in #Türkiye. We are proud of their selfless efforts & sincerely hope that both Türkiye & Syria make a strong recovery.
A pleasure to sit down with First Lady Rossana Briceño & discuss #Taiwan-#Belize cooperation. I hope that through our joint women’s empowerment projects, we can help more women realise their potential & further strengthen the ties between our countries.
Delighted to welcome Foreign Minister @KeisalPeters of St. Vincent and the Grenadines on her first visit to #Taiwan. I look forward to her sharing #SVG’s experiences at tomorrow’s forum on women’s empowerment.
Happy to receive these kind words & books from Polish author Witold Szabłowski, who recently spoke at the Taipei International Book Exhibition. #Taiwan, like #Poland, understands that the road to peace, freedom, & democracy is difficult but ultimately worthwhile.
In addition to deploying 130 search & rescue personnel to #Türkiye, #Taiwan has raised its relief donation to US$2M. Our government has also opened accounts for public donations to a relief fund. We remain ready to help in any way we can.
What a touching moment! Truly proud of #Taiwan’s🇹🇼 search & rescue team saving lives on the ground in #Türkiye🇹🇷 in collaboration with @AKUTASSOCIATION, who came to our aid in our hour of need! twitter.com/NFA_TAIWAN/sta…
Visited the Turkish Trade Office in Taipei to convey my condolences to all those affected by the earthquakes: #Taiwan stands with #Türkiye at this difficult time.
I also had the pleasure of conversing with the USTBC delegation, all important leaders in business. Today's conversation left me feeling very confident about the future of #Taiwan-#US trade.
Today I had the privilege of honouring @ustaiwan Business Council Chairman Emeritus Paul Wolfowitz for his contributions to the #Taiwan-#US relationship. Guided by our shared values of freedom & democracy, we will ensure that our economic ties continue to grow & flourish.

土耳其重災還吃豆腐 網盜台救援隊圖稱「中國伸出援手」 news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/bre… 提醒大家小心中國 #認知戰 ! 台灣派國家搜救隊前往土耳其參與救援、卻被中國刻意盜用照片曲解,在網路盜用台灣照片宣稱「中國人向土耳其伸出援手了」無恥行徑令人傻眼。明顯是對國際的大外宣 #Turkey #Taiwan 圖:微博
Congratulations to father-daughter team Xiao Qing-yang 蕭青陽 & Hsiao Chun-tien 蕭君恬 on their win at the #Grammys. Their award-winning work showcases the strength of design in #Taiwan & brings together Taiwan’s landscapes, peoples & diverse cultures.
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.
A pleasure to meet with a delegation from the Swiss Parliament @ParlCH headed by @FabianMolinaNR & @WalderNicolas. I believe that #Taiwan & #Switzerland can deepen existing ties & bolster democratic resilience around the world.
