Had a productive meeting with @SecAzar & the @HHSGov delegation. Thank you to @POTUS and @SecPompeo for supporting the #TaiwanModel & our international participation. Working together, we can prove that democracy is the best system to overcome global challenges.
327
As a major transportation hub in the #AsiaPacific region, #Taiwan must be included in efforts to prevent the spread of the coronavirus outbreak. Our medical & public health personnel have both expertise & experience, & our people deserve an equal right to health.
328
The arrests of #StandNews staff & singer Denise Ho @hoccgoomusic are yet another example of the Beijing authorities' crackdown on free speech in #HongKong. We in #Taiwan regret to see their detention & call on the international community to stand up for freedom & democracy in HK.
329
As the world grapples with the severity of the #COVID19 pandemic, China’s military maneuvers around #Taiwan have continued unabated. Whether it’s national defence or preventing the spread of disease, our armed forces remain as vigilant as ever. #IslandOfResilience

Delighted to meet with @SenMarkey & the bipartisan congressional delegation earlier today. A reflection of the enduring friendship & ongoing exchanges between #Taiwan & the #US, your visit facilitates stronger, more substantive ties between our countries.
331
#NightMarkets & street food are essential parts of daily life in #Taiwan, & they’re also an integral part of our economy. Our "triple stimulus" voucher program & travel subsidy plans will bring people back to their favourite spots to enjoy some fun, good vibes & delicacies.
332
Today we remember those lives tragically lost in the 228 Incident 75 years ago & the decades of oppression that followed. This day serves as an important reminder of the Taiwanese people’s journey to democracy, strengthening our resolve to protect our country & way of life.

Wishing a very happy International Guide Dog Day to Bella, Bunny, Maru, & all guide dogs around the world. These dogs provide a vital service to those in need & I am proud to have brought these 3 retired guides into my family.
334
On behalf of the government & the people of #Taiwan, I want to offer my best wishes to @BorisJohnson for a swift recovery. This is the moment for us to work together to fight the #COVID19 pandemic.
335
Thank you to all the national freediving associations who have stood with #Taiwan after our national flag was removed from an AIDA competition broadcast. Your decision to remove your own countries’ flags in solidarity with Taiwan touched the hearts of the Taiwanese people.
336
Pleased to host friends from the US. At this critical moment, #Taiwan, the #US & our partners worldwide #StandWithUkraine in defense of freedom & democracy. We will continue to strengthen our collective resilience as we work to contribute to regional & global peace & stability.
337
After meeting with members of the US Congress from both sides of the aisle, I was heartened by their strong bipartisan support for #Taiwan. Thank you to @SpeakerMcCarthy & all our American friends. When we stand together, we are all stronger.
338
The people of #Taiwan are committed to upholding our nation’s sovereignty, democracy, security & prosperity. In my National Day Address, I outlined four core commitments on which Taiwan is united. Full text here:

For over 50 years, Father Brendan O’Connell devoted himself to building better lives for those most in need in Taiwan. Rest in peace, Father O’Connell, I know I speak for our entire country when I say that you were truly a member of the Taiwanese family.
342
More than 1 million face masks donated in just one day. It’s truly an honour to witness people’s generosity in action. I can’t think of a better way to mark 3 consecutive days of no new #COVID19 cases in Taiwan.
343
China has without warning suspended imports of wax apples & custard apples from Taiwan. While we condemn their breach of international norms, we will do all we can to support #Taiwan's agricultural sector & make sure that more people enjoy our delicious produce.
344
#Taiwan is once again ready to welcome the world! With loosened border restrictions now in effect, travelers no longer need to quarantine but observe 7 days of self-initiated prevention upon arrival. We hope to see you enjoying all that Taiwan has to offer soon.
345
On #InternationalWomensDay we recommit ourselves to gender equality while celebrating all women in #Taiwan & around the world. Let’s build a brighter future in which women are empowered to achieve anything they set their minds to. #女力覺醒

5月1日，是我們的好朋友日本的重要日子！隨著平成的結束，日本將正式迎接「令和」時代。臺灣與日本在平成30多年的時光裡，秉持相知相惜的精神，成為區域間最好的朋友。期待在令和的時代，臺灣與日本也能扶持彼此，持續當彼此的最佳夥伴。
#令和年代也請多多指教
#臺日友好

Taiwan stands with the democratic world in demanding an end to violence against noncombatants in Ukraine. Targeted killing of civilians must be condemned, and those responsible investigated and brought to justice under international law.

We're guided by our principles of peace, parity, democracy & dialogue in managing our #CrossStrait relations. Upholding these principles requires us to be able to defend #Taiwan against coercive actions & protect our freedoms & democracy.
