While the annual Dragon Boat Festival is traditionally a time for family reunions, I want to call on all in #Taiwan to avoid travel this long weekend so we can slow the spread of COVID-19. By staying disciplined, we can protect our loved ones’ health & get back together sooner.

Our work to fight the spread of #COVID19 at home & abroad shows that the more #Taiwan participates, the more #TaiwanCanHelp to realize @UN #GlobalGoals and better the world.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Peng Ming-min, a true pioneer of democracy & freedom in Taiwan. He inspired us with the strength of his convictions & made Taiwan better over a lifetime devoted to the nation he loved.

#Taiwan’s exclusion from the #WHA is a loss, not just for 23 million Taiwanese, but for the whole world. To truly realize #HealthForAll, the @WHO must put politics aside, so that Taiwan can share our expertise & contribute more to global health.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting former President @IlvesToomas of #Estonia & other esteemed Ketagalan Forum participants to discuss regional & global security. Thank you all for coming from around the world to #Taiwan & standing with us in defence of our shared values.

#Taiwan will extend mandatory service to 1 year starting in 2024 as part of a realignment of our military’s force structure. Conscripts will support our main volunteer force, alongside revamped civil defence, reserve & training systems.

On this day last year, we first learned of #COVID19 & began our pandemic response.
Before we say goodbye to 2020, let's look back on a challenging year & give those who’ve worked so hard to keep us safe their due. These are the people that deserve our heartfelt gratitude:
