With a deadweight of 208,000 tons, this is the biggest ship #Taiwan has ever built, and a testament to our shipbuilding capacity in Kaohsiung. In the future, we’ll see more #MadeInTaiwan ships serving our military & coast guard. #IslandOfResilience #TaiwanStrong
Today I met with @Europarl_EN Taiwan Friendship Group Chair Michael Gahler, who played an instrumental role in establishing the Formosa Club with #Taiwan Parliamentary Friendship Groups from the #UK, #France, & #Germany this month. I thank him for his unwavering support.
I’m determined to work with like-minded partners such as #Japan in defending shared values. We’re facing an onslaught of #Disinformation & #FakeNews aimed at undermining democracy. Today, Taiwan is in the crosshairs. Tomorrow, it will be another country. bit.ly/2HaaE4v
The end of our diplomatic relations with El Salvador will not be the end of Taiwan’s engagement with the world. We have shown again and again that Taiwan will not bow to pressure. Our freedom & democracy will stand strong. Full statement: bit.ly/2wiBVL6
As regional partners, #Taiwan & #Australia have a vested interest in #IndoPacific security, so I was pleased to meet with @cpyne. During his tenure, he contributed much to our shared goals & values, & we will surely benefit from his insights into regional security issues.
#Taiwan’s military reserve forces are a model of selfless service, and a vital link between the military & the public. I was honoured to present senior reservists with award plaques today for their contributions to national defense, and disaster prevention & relief efforts.

Chen Ding-nan holds a special place in #Taiwan history. Today I spoke about his contributions to #democracy, clean government & environmental protection. Well known for his honesty, diligence and love for our native land, he was a #hero to many, and a shining example for us all.
#Taiwan is ready, willing, & able to work with like-minded friends to achieve true global gender equality. As a regional leader in #WomenEmpowerment, we are connecting women to the resources they need to turn their ideas into reality in Taiwan, & around the world.
When it comes to serious threats like African swine fever, preparation & responsiveness are crucial. Our government continues to conduct intensive emergency response drills, ensuring that we can fully protect #Taiwan farmers, their livestock, & the public’s health.
Honoured to mark 80 years of strong diplomatic ties with Honduras. #Taiwan 🇹🇼 & 🇭🇳 #Honduras will continue to deepen our dynamic partnership in trade, disaster response, & other fields while looking out for one another as loyal friends.

History belongs to those who stand firm & honour their commitments. Such an honour to address the Parliament of #Nauru on behalf of #Taiwan’s 23 million people, reaffirming our commitment to building a sustainable future with our families in the #IndoPacific. #OceansOfDemocracy
Pleased to exchange ideas with former US ambassador John Negroponte & his delegation from @TheWilsonCenter. Grateful for their valuable insights into #Taiwan-#US relations, & how much more we can accomplish through closer cooperation in economics, trade, & industrial development.
Today I presided over the commissioning of 29 Apache helicopters into Army Aviation and Special Forces Command. If these aircraft are called upon to defend our country & our people, nothing will stand in their way. #Taiwan is an #IslandOfResilience.
Trade between #Taiwan and the #US continues to reach historic highs, and last month marked a record 31 consecutive months of year-on-year export growth. As president, I’m committed to bolstering Taiwan’s economy, so that Taiwanese businesses can shine on the world stage.
I thank President Waqa for his generosity & hospitality. At a time when our region requires all stakeholders to cooperate, #Nauru & #Taiwan will work tirelessly together to ensure a free, open, & prosperous #IndoPacific. #OceansOfDemocracy
We join the international community in condemning the development, possession & use of chemical weapons. We support international measures sanctioning any violators of international law

Last night, we kicked off @SEMIconex #SEMICONTaiwan 2019 by celebrating semiconductors’ special place in #Taiwan’s history & lauding the contributions of industry pioneers. Together, we are working with global industry leaders to solidify Taiwan’s role as a top global innovator.
