Today I helped inaugurate the All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency under our @MoNDefense. By coordinating reserve training & education for #Taiwan's people, this new agency will play a key role in strengthening our nation's defenses against evolving threats.
This is without doubt the most despicable statement of the year. The #PRC is literally saying to #Taiwan🇹🇼: Everything you own belongs to #China. Watch out! This is the government the world is dealing with. It will rob you blind the way it's robbing our property in #Nicaragua. twitter.com/MFA_China/stat…
As the world prepares to bid 2021 farewell, we invite those who cherish freedom & democracy to join the 23.5 million people of #Taiwan🇹🇼 in celebrating #NewYearsEve #Taipei101 style. Let's work towards a better future in 2022! (📽 Taipei 101) ▶️Livestream bit.ly/3FLZezj
As 2021 comes to a close, I want to thank the people of #Taiwan for overcoming challenges & working to make our country a better place. In 2022, we will continue to stand together & be one with the world.
2022 is upon us in #Taiwan. It's a joy to wake up every day to this great land of freedom. We're determined to defend our country, a proud democracy that will never bow to authoritarianism. #HappyNewYear! JW
This morning I welcomed the New Year with our traditional flag raising ceremony. After a year filled with challenges, I want to thank the people of #Taiwan & especially our frontline medical workers for sticking together & working hard toward a brighter future for our country.
Start #NewYear2022 with a deep dive on #Taiwan's🇹🇼 leader who's standing up to #China. Learn about @iingwen's early life, political career & presidency. Also discover how her progressive policies have ushered in a "new era" for the #IslandOfResilience & its 23.5 million people.🔽 twitter.com/Reuters/status…
Over the past year, the people of #Taiwan showed remarkable resilience & unity. I am proud to lead them into 2022, as we continue to strengthen our democracy & work to uphold peace and stability in the region.
.@WSJopinion calls out Lithuania's bullying by #China & rightfully so. The courageous #Baltic state's only "crime" is to look to the future. "Today #Lithuania🇱🇹 is the target, & the issue is #Taiwan🇹🇼. But tomorrow it could be any country or business."🔽 wsj.com/articles/china…
In my New Year's address I reaffirmed #Taiwan's support for democracy in #HongKong, as well as our commitment to peace & stability in the Indo-Pacific. We will continue to speak up for human rights & democracy, no matter the pressures we face.
Vaccination & mask-wearing continue to be key tools in our work to contain the changing threat of COVID-19. I call on everyone in #Taiwan to stay vigilant, so we can keep ourselves & those around us safe from infection.
Deputy Minister Tseng hammered home a powerful message during the news conference hosted by @TW_in_LT Rep. Huang: #Taiwan🇹🇼 & #Lithuania🇱🇹 are like-minded partners bound by an unshakeable belief in freedom & democracy. We'll overcome #China's threat of authoritarianism together!
As of today, #Taiwan is making COVID-19 booster shots available to adults fully vaccinated 12 or more weeks ago. Make your vaccination appointment as soon as possible & help bolster our defense against the virus.
#Taiwan🇹🇼 & #Lithuania🇱🇹 are wasting no time in deepening ties. Preparations for the #Baltic state's representative office in Taiwan are on track & close to completion. Our thanks to @ArmonaiteA, @Jovita_Pra & the Ministry of Economy & Innovation for the strong support. (📸 CNA)
Thank you @AmbassadorTai for leading trans-Atlantic support of #Lithuania in the face of #PRC coercion. #Taiwan is also sparing no effort to back the brave #Baltic state in defeating authoritarianism. Democracy must prevail! JW twitter.com/AmbassadorTai/…
Spot on, @DSakaliene! #Taiwan & #Lithuania share the same sacred rights. You & I also share the same vision of keeping the world free from authoritarianism. We'll fight side by side for our people & to hold the honor of both being sanctioned by the #Communist #PRC. JW twitter.com/DSakaliene/sta…
With Lunar New Year coming up, #Taiwan's national & local governments are working together to manage the risks involved with international travel ahead of this holiday. Please stay alert & get a booster shot if eligible to help keep yourself & those around you safe.
We welcome the #CzechRepublic's🇨🇿 Government Program Statement in which the #EU🇪🇺 member state commits to continue deepening cooperation with democratic partners in the #IndoPacific like #Taiwan🇹🇼 while protecting freedom, democracy & human rights. ▶️READ bit.ly/3r63Bir
The 45th #Taiwan🇹🇼-#Japan🇯🇵 Economic & Trade Conference is a go! TJRA Chairperson Chou & JTEA Rep. Ohashi opened proceedings & set the stage for more 2-way collaboration in potential-laden sectors of the future. Also high on the agenda was backing Taiwan's bid to join the #CPTPP.
Glad to stop by & say hi as NDC Minister Kung, @ArmonaiteA & @TW_in_LT Rep. Huang work hard for #Taiwan & #Lithuania. They're showing the need for cooperation & unity among democracies in countering #PRC coercion. Keep fighting for the free world! JW
NDC Minister Kung & @ArmonaiteA are maintaining the momentum of #Taiwan's🇹🇼 trade & investment trip to #Lithuania🇱🇹. The pair got down to business on deepening economic ties & setting a course for cooperation in sectors of the 21st century & beyond! ▶️READ bit.ly/3KaojXw
Minister Wu tackles the tough issues in his @FRANCE24 interview with @mperelman. Learn more about #Taiwan's🇹🇼 determination to maintain a rock-solid defense in the face of #China's mounting military threat, cooperation with the #US🇺🇸 in related areas & ties with #Lithuania🇱🇹.🔽 twitter.com/France24_en/st…
Proud to witness the commissioning of our Navy's first dedicated minelayer squadrons. These domestically-built fast minelayers mark yet another step forward for #Taiwan's own defense industry & will further strengthen our readiness & resilience in the face of evolving threats.
Today I got my booster shot & I encourage everyone eligible to do the same. Boosters are available to adults in #Taiwan who received their second COVID vaccine shot at least 12 weeks ago. Book here: 1922.gov.tw
Inspiring to see @Geeta_Mohan slap down #Beijing's attempt to undermine #India's media independence. No free country & its people need take #China's crap of dictations, orders, bluffs, bullying, threats, anger or aggression. #Taiwan doesn't. JW twitter.com/Geeta_Mohan/st…
