For this year's annual Han Kuang military exercises in #Taiwan, I boarded a destroyer to watch our Navy & Air Force in action. Their execution of a range of live-fire drills gives me confidence in our military's ability & determination to respond to any contingency.
Wishing President Biden @POTUS a swift recovery & return to the office. I'm glad to see that you're doing well despite the positive test & remain hard at work for the American people.
Delighted to welcome you & the members of the @AtlanticCouncil delegation to #Taiwan & to engage on key issues for our country & our global democratic partners. twitter.com/MarkTEsper/sta…
Thank you, Vice President @nicolabeerfdp, for leading the @Europarl_EN in advocating for closer #Taiwan-#EU ties. Grateful to meet with you & discuss avenues for further cooperation as like-minded partners.
A pleasure to meet with former US Secretary of Defense @MarkTEsper & the members of the @AtlanticCouncil delegation. #Taiwan is committed to working with our democratic partners across the Atlantic & around the world to uphold freedom, democracy & regional security.
Congratulations to our women’s tug of war team on winning gold at The World Games @TWG2022, their 5th in a row & #Taiwan’s 1st at this year’s games. Your incredible record has brought joy to our people & honour to our country. twitter.com/bikhim/status/…
A delight to meet #Taiwan’s first ever #Grammy winners, designers Li Jheng-han 李政瀚 and Yu Wei 于薇, & the team behind the album Pakelang. This collaborative work celebrates the musical traditions of Taiwan’s indigenous communities & the magnificent landscapes that shaped them.
台日関係の発展のために尽くした安倍晋三元首相の貢献に感謝します。安倍元首相がかつてピアノで弾いた東日本大震災の復興支援曲『花は咲く』が、困難に立ち向かい、支え合って生きていこうとする気持ちを描いているように、台湾と日本も努力を続け、もっと多くの花を咲かせていきたいと願っています。
Held productive discussions yesterday on expanding #Taiwan-#US trade ties & maintaining regional security with @SenRickScott. We are proud to have friends like you in the US standing with Taiwan in the defence of freedom & democracy.
To mourn the passing of Prime Minister Abe & thank him for his great friendship to Taiwan, I have instructed our government to fly the national flag at half-mast on July 11. We will never forget his profound contributions to freedom & democracy worldwide.
安倍元首相を悼み、台湾に示してくださった友情に感謝するため、7月11日は半旗を掲げるよう全ての政府機関に指示しました。私たちは、安倍元首相が世界の自由と民主主義に果たされた偉大な功績を決して忘れません。
安倍晋三元首相のご逝去の報に接し、言葉にならないほどのショックを受けています。台湾国民も深い悲しみの中にいます。 安倍先生とはまた台湾でお目にかかれると信じていました。しかし、許し難い暴挙によって尊い命が奪われてしまいました。
安倍先生は生前、台湾に実に多くのご支援とご配慮をくださいました。私たちはこのことを決して忘れません。先生は天国でもきっと、インド太平洋地域の民主主義を見守ってくださると信じています。 心からのご冥福をお祈りします。
Welcome to #Taiwan, @SenRickScott. I look forward to meeting with you & working together to deepen Taiwan-US economic & security cooperation.
That’s what friends are for. I will keep working with you for the betterment of our two peoples. Los amigos estamos para ayudarnos. Seguiremos trabajando juntos por el bienestar de nuestros pueblos. twitter.com/DrGiammattei/s…
An honour to address the leaders & scholars of Academia Sinica, our nation's foremost research institution. Their work across science, technology & medicine has been crucial to #Taiwan's pandemic response as well as global efforts to combat COVID-19.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Unprecedented threats from authoritarian actors will not deter us in #Taiwan from working with our partners around the world to uphold liberal values & strengthen democratic institutions.
An honour to meet with the athletes representing our country at @TheWorldGames in Birmingham, Alabama next month. I know they will make us proud & encourage everyone to get behind team #Taiwan at #TWG2022.
A privilege to speak at the Medical Women's International Association @MedWIA congress in #Taipei & thank medical professionals around the world for protecting our health throughout this pandemic. We are grateful for all your hard work & sacrifices.
I offer my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the earthquake in eastern Afghanistan & hope for a prompt recovery for all those affected. Taiwan is offering assistance in relief efforts.
In the face of authoritarian attempts to disrupt global food trade, democracies are supporting & nourishing one another. I want to thank Deputy Minister Giedraitis of #Lithuania for coming to #Taiwan & all our other democratic partners who attended the 2022 Food Taipei expo.
Pleased to witness the founding of an expert team for naval vessel design & testing under the National Academy of Marine Research. This initiative is yet another demonstration of #Taiwan’s determination to enhance our self-sufficiency in the development of key defense technology.
Congratulations to badminton star Tai Tzu-ying 戴資穎 and table tennis ace Lin Yun-ju 林昀儒, who both won major international tournaments this past weekend. Taiwan is proud of your accomplishments & stands behind you all the way.
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.
Saddened to learn of the passing of the Seediq tribe’s Ipay Wilang, the last surviving preserver of traditional indigenous facial tattoos in Taiwan. Her lifetime of contributions will continue to inspire us in our efforts to preserve Taiwan’s diverse indigenous cultures.
