Today I met with @SenDuckworth to explore opportunities for closer #Taiwan-#US cooperation in regional security, trade & investment. I deeply appreciate your staunch support for Taiwan & your sponsorship of legislation to strengthen our bilateral ties.
#EidMubarak to the Muslim community in #Taiwan & all our Muslim friends around the world.
It’s always a pleasure to see my friends at @AmChamTaipei, a key force driving the #Taiwan-#US economic partnership forward. I was pleased to see that their name will be changed to AmCham Taiwan & am sure there’ll be even more good news for Taiwan-US investment in the future.
Our social workers make great contributions to #Taiwan every single day by caring for those in need & providing vital mental health services. It was a privilege to help pay tribute to their work keeping us healthy & safe.
It was wonderful to meet with Calvin Young & Sabrina Walker as they prepared to Spend a Night @ Taiwan’s Presidential Office Building. I am delighted that they are sharing #Taiwan’s beauty with the deaf community around the world, & I enjoyed learning some sign language as well!
Delighted to welcome Ambassador Bikenibeu Paeniu of #Tuvalu to #Taiwan. I look forward to working with former Prime Minister Paeniu to advance our broad bilateral cooperation for the benefit of both our peoples.
This #EarthDay, the world is coming together to fight climate change. #Taiwan joins the international community in the effort to reduce global carbon emissions & create a greener planet.
#Taiwan today took delivery of nearly 600,000 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. With more than 10 million in Taiwan having received at least one jab, we will keep up our push to acquire & administer vaccines to protect the health of the Taiwanese people.
Pleased to welcome Deputy Speaker of the #Slovak National Council Milan Laurenčík & his delegation to #Taiwan. I look forward to working with you to further deepen the friendship between our countries.
Enjoyed a productive meeting with a National Bureau of Asian Research @NBRnews delegation led by Admiral Philip S. Davidson. #Taiwan will continue to work as a force for good, cooperating with like-minded partners to uphold peace & security throughout the region.
The inclusion of Taiwan in the #WHA is a #HumanRights issue. It’s not a bargaining chip that can be used by any country to pressure us to give up our sovereignty. The goal of #HealthForAll can only be achieved if #Taiwan is part of the @WHO. #TaiwanCanHelp.
Today we remember all those who fought to defend Kinmen Island 70 years ago. Peace can never be achieved by compromising our beliefs nor by bending to others. We need strong national defense & a sense of solidarity to show the world we are determined to defend our sovereignty.
Today is #EarthDay, a day for us to renew our commitment to combat climate change & promote sustainable development. #Taiwan is taking steps to reduce our emissions & protect the environment, so that all of us around the world can enjoy a better future.
Democracies around the world are working to prevent infiltration from China, & today #Taiwan joined in this effort by passing an anti-infiltration act to defend our democracy. Here on the front lines, we are taking all necessary measures to protect our values & way of life.
Today is #Taiwan’s Freedom of Speech Day. Yet even now, external forces are taking advantage of our freedom of speech to spread disinformation & erode our freedoms. As President, I won’t allow it & I will continue to fight the good fight to secure our future. #IslandOfResilience
I am proud to announce Dr. William Ching-te Lai as my running mate for the 2020 presidential election. I am confident that as Vice President, he will use his experience & love for #Taiwan to help lead our country forward. #LetsWin2020
Pleasure to meet with participants in this year's Taipei Security Dialogue, hosted by our Institute for National Defense & Security Research @INDSRTW. #Taiwan welcomes cooperation with like-minded partners to enhance our collective defense & democratic resilience.
On behalf of the people of #Taiwan, I want to extend my condolences to all those affected by the #earthquake in #Japan this morning. In times of need, Taiwan is always ready to help.
Thank you Morris Chang for once again representing #Taiwan at the @APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting. As @TWSemicon founder, your valuable experience as a technological innovator will help us build stronger relationships & improve public healthcare in the Asia-Pacific region.
Thank you to the @G7 leaders for supporting #Taiwan's participation in the @WHO & for affirming the importance of peace & stability in the Taiwan Strait. We will keep working with our partners to improve global health & uphold regional security. twitter.com/MOFA_Taiwan/st…
#Taiwan’s machinery sector supplies firms around the world & enjoyed a record-breaking 2021 despite the pandemic. I went to our machinery industry’s major trade shows, where I learned about the direction of innovation & the opportunities available in this key field.
Congratulations to badminton champions Tai Tzu-ying (戴資穎), Lee Yang (李洋) & Wang Chi-lin (王齊麟) for making history at the #BWFWorldTourFinals. I’m so proud of our #Taiwanese athletes shining on the world stage. 🏸#台灣之光 📷: @bwfmedia
#Taiwan’s Triple Stimulus Voucher program is designed to keep the economic wheels turning & boost consumption levels in the post #COVID19 era. This is working out well for merchants, as well as hungry consumers like me! See how it works here: 3000.gov.tw/EN/
Wonderful to sit down with @CharlieCamp6ell for @TIME to discuss how important #Taiwan is to global democracy & how we’re working to defend it. The world is watching #Taiwan2020, & we owe it to future generations to choose freedom. english.president.gov.tw/NEWS/5952 twitter.com/TIME/status/12…
This morning I convened a national defense meeting, where I issued three major tasks to our armed forces. The best way for us to honour the memory of the fallen is to ensure Taiwan’s security & maintain military morale.
