On this day, 2 years ago, I was elected by the people of #Taiwan to serve as president. Since then, I have continued to work for a better economy, stronger national defense & more stabilizing role in int’l society. We will press forward with the reforms this country needs
Democracy & freedom cannot be taken for granted, as latest @freedomhousedc #FreedomReport shows. #Taiwan is proud to be one of the freest democracies in Asia & will continue to be a beacon of light for the region
More positive news out about #Taiwan's booming economy: Unemployment is down to 17 year low; Taiwan Stock Market at 28 year high; salaries are up 2.86%! bit.ly/2n2QI85
#Taiwan is grateful to the many offers of assistance & support coming from around the world. Although relief efforts in #Hualien are sufficient, your warmth & kindness have been felt by people of Taiwan bit.ly/2nJQZh9

At the 3rd annual #HolocaustRemembranceDay event in #Taiwan, we affirm our responsibilities to “Never Forget. Never Again.” We will launch a new #HumanRights museum to engage w/ the world, as well as strengthen human rights education for generations to come
Delighted to spend a wonderful evening at our foreign diplomatic corps spring reception tonight. I wished all ambassadors & representatives here in #Taiwan a prosperous & peaceful #YearOfTheDog

#Taiwan's #health contributions are recognized around the world. I want to share a story of Nguyen Thi Loan from #Vietnam, who bravely underwent a series of complex surgeries giving her a second chance in life youtu.be/pN9TU41gROc
Today on #WorldHealthDay, I reiterate one of the @WHO's founding principles: "the highest attainable standard of #health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being." The people of #Taiwan have an inalienable right to participate in WHO & world health decisions
