As we embark on a new year, #Taiwan is stepping up our development of space technologies through the restructuring of the Taiwan Space Agency. The importance of the space industry to the future of Taiwan cannot be understated & we are committed to progress in this sector.

Today I visited our military personnel in Chiayi to express our gratitude for their service. I remain confident in their ironclad resolve to defend #Taiwan's freedom & uphold regional peace & stability.

Minister Wu signed MOUs with #Kharkiv Mayor Ihor Terekhov, #Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Syenkevych & @ICUVua Chair @HopkoHanna on behalf of the leadership in #Kherson to donate US$2 million to front-line #Ukraine🇺🇦 cities. It’s #Taiwan’s🇹🇼 honor to #StandWithUkraine!

Delighted to share #Taiwan’s democratic achievements with a delegation led by @AndersFoghR, founder & chairman of @AoDemocracies. Taiwan is committed to working with our international partners to defend democracy, as we know that the freedoms we enjoy do not come easy.

After a year of many challenges, I want to thank everyone who has helped #Taiwan emerge from 2022 stronger & more resilient than before. Wishing you a Happy New Year and all the best in 2023!

To prepare for the challenges of the coming year, I held a national security meeting focused on economic policy & ensuring #Taiwan’s critical position in the global supply chain. Together, we will strengthen our nation’s resilience & drive greater development & prosperity.

As we get ready to celebrate the New Year, our military remains on guard, ensuring #Taiwan’s security & safeguarding our national sovereignty. Today I visited our troops to express my pride & thank them for their sacrifices.

#Taiwan will extend mandatory service to 1 year starting in 2024 as part of a realignment of our military’s force structure. Conscripts will support our main volunteer force, alongside revamped civil defence, reserve & training systems.
163
Thank you to the #US for approving a new arms sale to #Taiwan. Enhancing our military capabilities is key to safeguarding our democratic way of life & regional peace & stability. twitter.com/MOFA_Taiwan/st…

As the year draws to a close, we’d like to thank all #Taiwan’s🇹🇼 friends around the world. Despite the challenges, we’ve felt a groundswell of support from global like-minded partners, who’ve helped us turn adversity into opportunity & make 2022 the year of resilience.

Our decision to extend military service aims to strengthen #Taiwan’s🇹🇼 self-defense capabilities in the face of #China’s increasingly bellicose rhetoric & military activities. We do not seek conflict, but we remain unwavering in defending our sovereignty & democracy. twitter.com/iingwen/status…

Facing a changing security landscape, #Taiwan is restructuring our military, extending conscription & upgrading training. On the frontlines of democracy's defense, we are actively taking steps to uphold our nation's sovereignty, values & interest in regional peace & stability.
167
What #China did during the #Christmas season is exactly why #Taiwan has to strengthen its defense capabilities. Only preparedness can deter aggressors from an attempt at invasion. And for us surrender is not an option. Never! JW twitter.com/MoNDefense/sta…
168
An honour to preside over the promotions of our nation's Army, Navy & Air Force generals @MoNDefense. I will always stand with our troops - the better prepared our military is, the better #Taiwan can deter threats to our security & democratic way of life.
