I’m glad the Philippines government lifted its travel ban on #Taiwan. @MOFA_Taiwan thanks all who helped in the process. #Taiwan & the #Philippines are close neighbors & good friends. Diplomacy works. Mabuhay! JW
We sincerely thank Formosa Club’s #Taiwan friendship groups from @Europarl_EN, #France, #Germany & #UK for urging the country's meaningful @WHO participation. Politics mustn't factor in the spread of #Coronavirus & jeopardize #HealthForAll. Learn more: bit.ly/2HlihDZ.

. @CSIS’s event on PRC🇨🇳 interference in #Taiwan’s🇹🇼 presidential & legislative elections is a must watch! Lots to unpack in my keynote🔑 & panel discussion with NTU’s Puma Shen & @iftf’s Nick Monaco. youtube.com/watch?v=01Ks2x…
Over the past weeks, our armed forces have been working on the front lines to prevent the spread of #coronavirus. From helping manufacture face masks to disinfecting ships & aircraft, our men & women in uniform are working around the clock to keep #Taiwan safe.
For the 2nd day, #PLAAF combat aircraft flew close to #Taiwan. @iingwen urged Beijing to deal with the #Wuhan virus, not threaten the country militarily. Listen, H-6 bombers are useless against #Coronavirus. JW
The best technology helps bridge the gap between people & policies. #Taiwan is a leader in developing smart city solutions, & I cannot think of a better place to host the 2020 @Newcommunities Forum than #Taoyuan City, winner of 2019 Intelligent Community of the Year.
Our sincere thanks to @michaelgahler, chair of the European Parliament-Taiwan Friendship Group, & his fellow MEPs for stating the country’s @WHO case in a letter to @DrTedros. Yes! #Taiwan is Taiwan & must hold observer status in the @UN specialized agency. (📸 via @Europarl_EN)
I want to thank our allies & like-minded friends from around the world for courageously speaking up for the necessity of #Taiwan’s participation in the @WHO. Disease knows no borders, & we must be able to freely share information to stop the spread of #2019nCoV.
At this critical juncture, #Taiwan’s continued absence from the @WHO has caused countless errors in the handling of the #2019nCoV outbreak.
Heartfelt thanks to our colleagues at @Taiwan_CDC & the #CECC for providing timely, accurate info through multiple media platforms to help #Taiwan contain #2019nCoV. Transparency is the best way to protect everyone’s right to health, both at home & internationally.
I want to take a moment to thank all of the manufacturers who are working hard to keep the people of #Taiwan safe from #2019nCoV. We are continually striving to increase production capacity for face masks to ensure better protection for those who need it most.
.@WHO, what's wrong with you? First you called us "Taiwan, China," then you changed to "Taipei." You misreported the confirmed cases, & now you call us "Taipei & Environs." Look! Taiwan is #Taiwan & not any part of the #PRC. JW
I want to thank the representatives from #Eswatini, #Paraguay, & #Guatemala for taking a stand for global health & safety by supporting #Taiwan’s @WHO participation & highlighting ways that #TaiwanCanHelp combat the spread of #2019nCoV.
Minister Wu didn't mince words during our news conference on fallout from the global spread of the new #Coronavirus. @WHO must recognize #Taiwan is Taiwan & stop violating the health rights of the country's 23 million people! Read @Taiwan_Today's article. taiwantoday.tw/news.php?unit=…
Pleased to personally thank European Chamber (ECCT) Chair Mr. Izzo today for his efforts, & thank the #EU for supporting our @WHO participation. As the #2019nCoV spreads, #Taiwan can play a key role in containing the contagion on the front line of global epidemic prevention.
#HealthForAll & #LeaveNoOneBehind don't apply to #Taiwan. Period. This is wrong & threatens the health of the country's 23 million people. We thank the #US, #Japan, #EU, #Canada & allies for urging Taiwan's @WHO participation. Read Minister Wu's statement. bit.ly/2On1uod

"We call upon ICAO to reverse its practice of blocking discussion of #Taiwan on Twitter & make clear publicly its understanding that freedom of expression must always supersede political insecurities of member states" @icao, did you read this yet? state.gov/icaos-outrageo…
Thank you, @SenCoryGardner, @SenTomCotton, @SenRubioPress, @JohnCornyn, @JimInhofe, @SenatorRomney & @SenTedCruz for urging @DrTedros to grant #Taiwan observer status at @WHO meetings & gatherings. Politics mustn’t factor in the spread of #Coronavirus & jeopardize #HealthForAll.
We're fans of @Cooper4SAE. Yes! T.A.I.W.A.N. spells TAIWAN & that’s the name on nearly everyone’s lips when it comes to the country's meaningful @WHO participation. Thank you, @JustinTrudeau, for urging #Taiwan's WHA observer status. Politics mustn’t jeopardize #HealthForAll. twitter.com/Cooper4SAE/sta…
As a major transportation hub in the #AsiaPacific region, #Taiwan must be included in efforts to prevent the spread of the coronavirus outbreak. Our medical & public health personnel have both expertise & experience, & our people deserve an equal right to health.
I want to thank the #US, #Japan, #Canada, & #StLucia, as well as our friends in the international community, for publicly supporting #Taiwan’s inclusion in the @WHO. Full statement: english.president.gov.tw/NEWS/5969
Supporting #Taiwan’s inclusion in @icao is “communicating misinformation?” 🙈🙉🙊 & then the Taiwan issue will just disappear? No! Taiwan will remain an air traffic hub & the only way to ensure safety is inclusion. JW twitter.com/jessicadrun/st…

Silencing voices that oppose ICAO’s exclusion of #Taiwan is not the way out! It is really insane that @icao is reportedly blocking accounts, just because of tweets about the need for Taiwan's inclusion.
Today I had an opportunity to thank #EU Office Head Filip @grzegorzewskif for his support for #Taiwan including our participation in @WHO. I look forward to working with him to deepen our bilateral partnership & strengthen economic & trade ties by signing a BIA.
