Best wishes to all of our Thai friends for a Happy #Songkran. Although some of you can’t make it home because of the #COVID19 outbreak, I hope everyone will stay safe & greet the New Year with new hope & much happiness!
Here’s my Lunar New Year message to the people of #Taiwan, my fellow Taiwanese living overseas, & everyone around the world celebrating this holiday, including our friends in Hong Kong. Take care & let’s turn the tide together in the #YearOfTheOx!
文化総会 @gacc_twと日台交流協会の努力によって、奈良美智先生による台湾初めての個展が3月に開催されることになりました!今から指折り数えて待っています。台湾にもおいしいカレーライスがありますのでぜひ試してみてください! #奈良美智 #ようこそ台湾へ twitter.com/michinara3/sta…
Grateful to the #US senators & representative of this senior delegation for coming to #Taiwan to show your support for stronger bilateral ties. We will continue to work closely with our US partners to advance stability & prosperity in the region.
Today we remember a tragic time in Taiwan's history. The February 28 Incident of 1947 & authoritarian rule that followed must never be forgotten. These painful memories will continue to guide us in our work to uphold Taiwan's hard-won freedom & democracy.
Today I signed the Anti-Infiltration Act into law, a crucial step in our work to defend #Taiwan’s democracy. I want to reiterate that we are not opposed to interaction with #China, we are opposed to interference in our democratic processes.
From my family to yours, wishing a happy #YearOfTheTiger to you, your families & your pets. I hope you all enjoy a fabulous New Year feast together tonight. #新年快樂
I welcome the start of talks under the US-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade, a major step forward for #Taiwan & for our trade ties with the #US & the world. Thanks to all who made this possible & continue to promote joint economic cooperation based on our shared values.
I visited our military’s specialist chemical group today to thank them for their role in our continuing fight against #COVID19. Their efforts, equipment, and expertise are impressive, but I’m most grateful for their determination to protect the health of the people of #Taiwan.
I am devastated by the news of a serious earthquake in south & southwest Haiti, and on behalf of the people & government of Taiwan want to express our deepest condolences to everyone affected. Taiwan stands ready to assist Haiti in rescue & recovery efforts.
As I enter the 7th year of my presidency, I want to thank the Taiwanese people for their strength & unity in the face of all manner of challenges. Going forward, let’s keep working together to build a better country & bring #Taiwan to the world.
Today is the Winter Solstice Festival, or as we call it Dongzhi (#冬至), in #Taiwan. At this time of year, it’s traditional to bundle up with a piping hot bowl of sticky rice balls called tangyuan (湯圓). Hope everyone stays warm & has a wonderful Dongzhi with family & friends.
We drew an end to our 🇹🇼 National Day celebrations with a dazzling fireworks display in Chiayi. Grateful to all who contributed to this occasion & to everyone supporting #Taiwan.
I was delighted to welcome @KeithJKrach & the US delegation to the presidential residence to show them some Taiwanese hospitality. I’m sure the productive discussions we had today will bring #Taiwan & the #US even closer together & open the door to further collaboration.
Wishing a Happy #MothersDay to all mothers in #Taiwan & around the world.
I am deeply saddened by the news of the plane crash in Indonesia. My thoughts, & those of the Taiwanese people, are with everyone affected by this tragedy.
2020這一年,大家還好嗎? 今年是相當辛苦的一年,突如其來的全球疫情,打亂了我們每天的步調,改變了每個人的日常生活,衝擊了每個國家的社會秩序。 但還好,我們生活在台灣。我們彼此合作,團結實現了民主防疫的成就,也讓國際看見了台灣這座堅韌之島的特質和能耐。 新的一年,讓我們一切都好。
Pleased to formally welcome new Paraguay Ambassador Carlos José Fleitas Rodríguez. I look forward to building on 65 years of diplomatic ties & friendship between #Taiwan & #Paraguay to further strengthen cooperation & trade on the foundation of our shared values.
本日は、台湾中部の921大地震から20年です。日本から多くの支援をいただいたことは、今も我々の心に深く刻み込まれています。東日本大震災時、台湾人が被災地を支援したのは、20年前の日本の支援に勇気づけられたからです。今日は改めて心から感謝の気持ちを伝えます。「ありがとう!日本!」
Earlier today, #Nicaragua ended diplomatic ties with #Taiwan. I would like to stress that no amount of external pressure can shake our commitment to freedom, human rights, the rule of law & to partnering with the international democratic community as a force for good.
#Taiwan’s #HanKuang36 exercise begins this week. Our military men & women are working every day to enhance our military capabilities, defend national security, safeguard regional stability, & protect our freedoms & democracy. twitter.com/MoNDefense/sta…
As I celebrate the arrival of my 800,000th follower, I want to ask: What do you love about #Taiwan? What would you like to see more of? I love my country, & I want to share more of its beauty with you all.
Our 10-day visit to allies #Guatemala & #Belize, and our stops in #NewYork & #LosAngeles, would not have been possible without the hard work of our overseas community & representatives. Thank you all for bringing #Taiwan to the world.
Today I had the pleasure of formally welcoming new #Honduras Ambassador Harold Burgos back to #Taiwan. We are proud to count Honduras as a like-minded ally & look forward to breaking new ground in our countries’ enduring friendship.
