Proud to meet with advocates for people with disabilities & listen to their ideas for how to create a more accessible #Taiwan. I look forward to working together toward a society in which everyone receives the care they need & has the opportunity to shine.
With #Taiwan's recent rise in COVID-19 cases, it is key that we stay vigilant & calm while doing all we can to keep ourselves & our communities safe. Please get vaccinated, boosted & follow updated guidelines so we can have a safer Lunar New Year.
Ahead of the Lunar New Year, I had the opportunity to visit Taitung & meet with Army, Navy & Air Force personnel. Thank you to all #Taiwanese serving in uniform for your tireless work to ensure our nation's readiness & security.
Proud to announce that Vice President @ChingteLai will represent our country at the inauguration of Honduran President @XiomaraCastroZ. #Taiwan looks forward to an even stronger partnership & closer cooperation with #Honduras, as we work to expand our international participation.
As the world’s leading chipmaker, #Taiwan is working to strengthen domestic development of semiconductors & related manufacturing equipment. I am confident that our extensive expertise in the sector will help turn our nation into Asia’s high-end manufacturing hub.
As we continue mobilising to fight the pandemic, I want to thank all the professionals involved in our nation’s COVID-19 tracing, testing & treatment. #Taiwan is safer & healthier because of you.
Today I got my booster shot & I encourage everyone eligible to do the same. Boosters are available to adults in #Taiwan who received their second COVID vaccine shot at least 12 weeks ago. Book here: 1922.gov.tw
Proud to witness the commissioning of our Navy's first dedicated minelayer squadrons. These domestically-built fast minelayers mark yet another step forward for #Taiwan's own defense industry & will further strengthen our readiness & resilience in the face of evolving threats.
With Lunar New Year coming up, #Taiwan's national & local governments are working together to manage the risks involved with international travel ahead of this holiday. Please stay alert & get a booster shot if eligible to help keep yourself & those around you safe.
As of today, #Taiwan is making COVID-19 booster shots available to adults fully vaccinated 12 or more weeks ago. Make your vaccination appointment as soon as possible & help bolster our defense against the virus.
Vaccination & mask-wearing continue to be key tools in our work to contain the changing threat of COVID-19. I call on everyone in #Taiwan to stay vigilant, so we can keep ourselves & those around us safe from infection.
In my New Year's address I reaffirmed #Taiwan's support for democracy in #HongKong, as well as our commitment to peace & stability in the Indo-Pacific. We will continue to speak up for human rights & democracy, no matter the pressures we face.
Over the past year, the people of #Taiwan showed remarkable resilience & unity. I am proud to lead them into 2022, as we continue to strengthen our democracy & work to uphold peace and stability in the region.
This morning I welcomed the New Year with our traditional flag raising ceremony. After a year filled with challenges, I want to thank the people of #Taiwan & especially our frontline medical workers for sticking together & working hard toward a brighter future for our country.
As 2021 comes to a close, I want to thank the people of #Taiwan for overcoming challenges & working to make our country a better place. In 2022, we will continue to stand together & be one with the world.
Today I helped inaugurate the All-Out Defense Mobilization Agency under our @MoNDefense. By coordinating reserve training & education for #Taiwan's people, this new agency will play a key role in strengthening our nation's defenses against evolving threats.
The arrests of #StandNews staff & singer Denise Ho @hoccgoomusic are yet another example of the Beijing authorities' crackdown on free speech in #HongKong. We in #Taiwan regret to see their detention & call on the international community to stand up for freedom & democracy in HK.
