At the Taiwan Council for U.S. Affairs (formerly CCNAA) renaming ceremony, we witnessed another milestone in our #Taiwan-#US friendship. We will continue to live up to the democratic values that define this precious partnership, & a force for good in the #IndoPacific region.
402
I’ve always believed that no matter what kind of challenges facing us, history belongs to those who honour their values. And I get pumped up whenever I meet with my fellow citizens, who push #Taiwan forward with the aspirations that they hold in common.

We stand with all freedom-loving people of #HongKong. In their faces, we see the longing for freedom, & are reminded that #Taiwan’s hard-earned democracy must be guarded & renewed by every generation.
As long as I’m President, “one country, two systems” will never be an option. twitter.com/BBCWorld/statu…

This month #Taiwan is hosting the @FBI National Academy Associates #AsiaPacific Retraining Conference for the 1st time. In the Information Age, we can’t overstate the importance of international intelligence cooperation, & Taiwan’s indispensable role in this region.

406
The people of #Taiwan are watching closely the development of the #HongKongProtest.
In their pursuit of democracy & freedom, the people of #HongKong is not alone. Because we know that if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.
407
On the eve of #Taiwan’s Police Day, we thank our police officers for doing a job like no other. They sacrifice so much of their family life. They answer every call & do whatever it takes to serve & protect our communities.
On behalf of the people of Taiwan, THANK YOU.
408
I thank the unsung heroes at our airports & seaports. They protect our border from anyone who might threaten #Taiwan’s security & food safety.
Today I am in Kinmen, our strategic point at the major crossroads in the Taiwan Strait.
409
Congratulations, dear Graduates! As you are about to embark on a new journey, I hope you will continue to live up to the values that we hold dear. No matter what you do in the future, as long as you work to make this country more open & inclusive, a better #Taiwan awaits us.

In #Taiwan, we are not shy about sharing our passion for food. It brings people together, & helps break down cultural barriers. If you are here in the summer, be sure to try our famous summer delight, shaved ice.
411
We pride ourselves on our high-quality agricultural produce. Since the Fall Armyworm was first reported in #Taiwan last week, I’ve instructed my administration to step up efforts to prevent & control the crop-eating pest. We’ll work tirelessly to guard our agricultural sector.
412
Keeping up with cutting-edge technology is what will make #Taiwan more competitive in the 21st century. To prepare ourselves for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, today we inaugurated an innovation hub in Taoyuan, joining the global race for #AI & #AutonomousVehicles.
413
Both General John Allen & @RichardBushIII witnessed #Taiwan’s great transition to democracy. In a world where our challenges are increasingly global, the democratisation of Taiwan & our shared values should be guarded, cherished, & celebrated.

Achieving regional peace & stability requires collective efforts. #Taiwan is dedicated to ensuring a free & open #IndoPacific region, just like the experts & scholars who attended the #FormosaForum this week.

Lee Chih-kai’s gold medal at the 2019 Senior Asian Artistic Gymnastics Championships is just one example of why our athletes are the #PrideOfTaiwan. And when they step on the podium at the @Napoli2019_ita, I want them to know that everyone in #Taiwan stands with them.
417
#Taiwan is a leader in #WomensEmpowerment in the #IndoPacific, and I was delighted to share our experiences with advocates from 20 countries at the #PPSEAWA international conference. We discussed ways to ensure that our societies age with dignity, and the role women will play.
419
Delighted to meet a delegation from @CSIS led by my old friend @BonnieGlaser. I appreciate the long-term efforts by CSIS to promote #Taiwan-US cooperation, creating a force for good that promotes regional peace and stability, and contributes to the international community.

The Formosat-7 satellite was launched from @NASAKennedy today, a product of the largest #Taiwan-#US joint scientific project in recent years. Data from Formosat-7 will make meteorological forecasts more accurate, & help protect #Taiwan’s people, economy, & environment.

Chen Ding-nan holds a special place in #Taiwan history. Today I spoke about his contributions to #democracy, clean government & environmental protection. Well known for his honesty, diligence and love for our native land, he was a #hero to many, and a shining example for us all.
