Our outstanding military men & women are the #PrideOfTaiwan, & as #CommanderInChief, I was honoured to present commendations on Armed Forces Day. #Taiwan is grateful for their efforts to protect our sovereignty, promote regional peace, & preserve our democratic way of life.
Few people know the blood, sweat, & tears that these young students devote to mastering their crafts. Taiwan’s competitors came away with 5🥇, 5🥈, & 5🥉 at the @WorldSkills #Kazan 2019 Competition, coming in 4th out of 63 participating countries. Go #Taiwan! (照片:勞動部)
As #Taiwan prepares to host Asia’s only 10th anniversary @TEDx Weekend, I had the opportunity to meet the young people working behind the scenes to make this event happen. I look forward to seeing Taiwan’s creativity in action & hearing new #IdeasWorthSpreading.
Thank you @liberalinternat for all that you do for global gender equality, & for recognizing the crucial role #Taiwan plays in achieving this goal. As President, I will keep working to realize a day when #WomenInPolitics is more than a hashtag, it’s a fact of life. twitter.com/liberalinterna…
I was honoured to address the @AmericanLegion at their 101st National Convention, where we saluted a century of service to the preservation of liberty around the world, & celebrated the Legion’s unwavering support for #Taiwan. Full text: english.president.gov.tw/NEWS/5834 #ALconv2019
I was delighted to meet with #Mississippi Governor @PhilBryantMS today. #Taiwan & the Magnolia State are celebrating 36 years of sister state relations, and our discussions centered around areas for potential future cooperation including education, agriculture, & technology.
The #Penghu Islands off the coast of #Taiwan combine beautiful views and a unique maritime culture. My administration has worked to promote this emerging destination to international travelers, & this year’s Bay Light Festival & Penghu Cross-Sea Marathon are sure to amaze.
We are forever indebted to those who sacrificed their lives to defend #Taiwan’s sovereignty back in 1958. Their spirit of unity is a reminder that we must come together like the heroes of yesterday, to protect our freedom & democracy today.
I want to thank the #US government for notifying the Congress of the sale of F-16V fighters to #Taiwan. We will continue to cooperate closely with the US on security issues, contribute to peace & stability in the Taiwan Strait, and safeguard our freedom & democracy.
At today’s Ketagalan Forum: 2019 #AsiaPacific Security Dialogue, I highlighted #Taiwan’s increasing importance as a #BastionOfDemocracy in the region, & the need for like-minded countries to come together to face challenges to global freedom. Full speech: bit.ly/2z8Cskr
As regional partners, #Taiwan & #Australia have a vested interest in #IndoPacific security, so I was pleased to meet with @cpyne. During his tenure, he contributed much to our shared goals & values, & we will surely benefit from his insights into regional security issues.
It’s been a banner year for Taiwan’s athletes so far, & Cheng Chao-tsun’s 87.75m javelin throw at the #BirminghamDL 🇬🇧 yesterday makes him the first Taiwanese athlete ever to win 🥇 at a @Diamond_League competition. Go #Taiwan! twitter.com/Diamond_League…
#Taiwan embraces diversity, but our success depends on unity. Whether it’s a baseball team or a flyover squadron, we blend individual talents to pursue common goals. That spirit drives all our national teams, as everyone will see when #TeamTaiwan gets to the 2020 Tokyo @Olympics.
I’m amazed at the skills our young people have developed, & these contestants are ready to bring back a bevy of medals from @WorldSkillsKZN. #Taiwan’s vocational training programs are world renowned, & a source of soft power that we readily share with allies & #SEA neighbors.
Our progress developing #Taiwan’s aerospace & defense industries was on display at the #TADTE 2019. Exhibitors from home & abroad showed off technology that can enhance national security, spark industrial transformation & drive public-private sector collaboration & export growth.
Glad to update my old friends, @ustaiwan Chairman Splinter & President @RJHCUSTBC about how #Taiwan’s aerospace industry has taken off over the past 3 years. Their input is valuable as we continue to develop world-class aerospace technology, personnel, & production capabilities.
Accusing #Taiwan of interfering in the #HongKong situation is an insult to their pursuit of freedom & democracy. As a democratic country & a responsible member of the international community, we are concerned about #HK.
Delighted to meet @Rotary President-elect Holger Knaack & other club leaders from around the world. I truly admire the Rotary Club spirit of public service & global friendship, & look forward to welcoming #Rotarians to #Taiwan for their 2021 lnternational Convention.
Calling all global travelers to #BeOurGuest. I invite you to register for a chance to spend a #NightAtTaiwan’s Presidential Office Building. The winners will get a unique opportunity to experience a historical landmark, as well as a springboard to explore the beauty of #Taiwan.
It doesn’t take a genius to know that outstanding students + dedicated teachers = limitless potential. The #Taiwan team excelled at last week’s International Mathematics Competition in #Durban, where they earned 5🥇, 13🥈, & 6🥉 across individual & team events. (圖/中央社)
#SVG Prime Minister @ComradeRalph has long been an outspoken supporter of #Taiwan at the #UN. His visit will strengthen our friendship, & we look forward to working with new #SVG Ambassador to #Taiwan Her Excellency Andrea Bowman to deepen cooperation on all fronts.

Last month I received the warmest of welcomes on my state visit to beautiful #StVincentAndTheGrenadines. So I was delighted to return the favor & show Prime Minister @ComradeRalph just how much we appreciate his friendship & support for #Taiwan’s international participation.
Today we honoured our dear friend, outgoing #EETO Head Madeleine Majorenko, for her contributions to #Taiwan-EU relations over the past 4 years. I will always remember how she embraced the people of Taiwan, & her commitment to #EU ideals like democracy, diversity, & equality.
#Taiwan has long been a bastion of human rights & equality in #Asia. It is disappointing to see @UN_Women misrepresent Taiwan, but misrepresentation can never erase the efforts of all those who fought so hard for the freedom & equality we enjoy today.
