In 2020, we are going to ensure more people are cared for, keep improving our economy, & continue strengthening our sovereignty, freedom, & democracy. Together we can ensure that the light of democracy & freedom once again shines on #Taiwan & the entire world.

I see the potential for greater economic cooperation in the post-#COVID19 era & #Taiwan is a strong, reliable partner. Like-minded democracies around the world need to work together to establish new, diverse, & resilient supply chains, with Taiwan as a key link. #InvestTaiwan

#Taiwan's first squadron of upgraded F-16V fighter jets has entered service. These aircraft symbolize our close cooperation with the US & are equipped with advanced technology that will substantially strengthen our national defense.

Amidst the uncertainty of the past months, we all need a bit of positivity. I paid a visit to Mr. Lai Bei-yuan, who has dedicated nearly 4 decades of his life to making #Taiwan’s mountains green once more. #IntlForestDay

Imposing #NationalSecurityLegislation on #HongKong will destroy its freedom & rule of law. #Taiwan will #StandWithHongKong & provide necessary assistance to the people. The way forward is freedom & democratic elections, not ending them.
273
A warm welcome to #HongKong’s Lam Wing-kee. His reopened Causeway Bay Books is a glittering addition to the #Taiwan literary scene. It also reaffirms the country’s standing as a beacon of freedom, democracy & force for good in the world. All the very best for business! twitter.com/AFP/status/125…
