The Taiwan Relations Act is more than just a policy. It’s a commitment to the values of freedom & democracy. Terrific to celebrate a new chapter of #Taiwan-#US relations with AIT Chairman Moriarty, Director Christensen, @SpeakerRyan, & @RepEBJ.

I launched #NewSouthboundPolicy 3 years ago because I saw so much untapped potential for #Taiwan to play a bigger role in the development of our region. Today the policy has borne fruit & set up a stage for Taiwan & NSP countries to work even closer together in the future.

Love from the #CzechRepublic🇨🇿 has landed in #Taiwan🇹🇼! We thank the government & people of our #EU🇪🇺 friend for the donation of 30K #COVID19 vaccine doses. The gesture speaks to the strength of relations & an irrevocable fact: Forces for good never leave one of their own behind.

I thanked my envoy to #APEC2018 Mr. Morris Chang and Mrs. Sophie Chang for their efforts to elevate cooperation between #Taiwan & other APEC members. #TaiwanCanHelp harness inclusive opportunities in the digital era.

Great that @mohamed_hagi braved #China's pressure to arrive in Taiwan. We thank @WHNSC for commending #Taiwan-#Somaliland ties. The fact "sovereignty & friendship aren’t for sale" deserves international recognition. JW twitter.com/AmbMohamedHagi…

It was a pleasure to gather with good friends from the diplomatic community for the 198th anniversary of #CentralAmerican independence. As a #TrueFriend, #Taiwan follows through on its commitments, & is always looking for ways to contribute to the international community.

Transnational drug crime requires transnational solutions, & those solutions took center stage at the 2019 International Forum on Police Cooperation. #Taiwan is working with many #IndoPacific countries to fight drug trafficking, & together we’re creating a safer, healthier world.

Seeing smiles on people’s faces & hope in their eyes is one of the best parts of my job as President. The 2019 @UN @HappinessRpt ranks #Taiwan the happiest in East Asia for two years in a row, & moves us up a spot this year to 25th in the world, a recognition of my team’s efforts

Six reasons why #Pelosi's visit to #Taiwan is a mistake:
1⃣️Reneging on Past Commitments
2⃣️Trampling the Rule of Law
3⃣️Undermining Peace
4⃣️Meddling in China's Internal Affairs
5⃣️Political Manipulation
6⃣️Abusing Power for Selfish Purposes

I remember the passing of Nylon Deng 29 years ago. Nylon was a freedom fighter & a helmsman in #Taiwan's road to #democracy.
We have a duty to finish Nylon's work. Through transitional justice we will begin #reconciliation process to further strengthen our young democracy

Delighted to welcome to #Taiwan the delegation led by @DipCarlosMLopez of #Paraguay's Chamber of Deputies. Our countries share a longstanding partnership based on shared democratic values & we will continue to deepen cooperation to advance the well-being of our peoples.

Starting today, in parallel with #CSW65, NGOs in #Taiwan are holding a wide range of discussions on how to advance gender equality. Thanks to @WomensRightsTW & all participating organizations for making this online forum possible!

Freedom, democracy & human rights are universal values. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees. #Taiwan🇹🇼 stands shoulder to shoulder with @AndersFoghR, @AoDemocracies & other like-minded partners around the world in staring down bullies & battling to build better tomorrows for all. twitter.com/AndersFoghR/st…
