As #MarshallIslands Health Minister Kalani Kaneko rightfully said, we should not compromise when it comes to achieving #HealthForAll. #Taiwan serves as a transportation hub in the #IndoPacific region, our inclusion in the @WHO matters.
.@SecAzar is spot on. The 23 million people of #Taiwan deserve their voice just as much as anyone else does. We thank #US @HHSGov for openly supporting Taiwan at #WHA72. We’ll continue to help achieve the goals of #HealthForAll!
Thank you for standing with #Taiwan. Your support strengthens our resolve to contribute to the global health network. My administration has never & will never bow to any pressure. #TaiwanCanHelp twitter.com/MOFA_Taiwan/st…
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.
Serving this country is the greatest honour of my life. 3 years on, we have successfully developed #Taiwan’s offshore wind farms, launched our indigenous submarine factory, & saved our pension system from bankruptcy. I’ve achieved what many said was impossible, & I won’t stop.
Thank you for your gracious support. If you wish to know more about #Taiwan, I invite you to visit this #IslandOfResilience, and meet the people who truly live up to democratic values.
On May 17th, 2019 in #Taiwan, #LoveWon. We took a big step towards true equality, and made Taiwan a better country. 🏳️‍🌈
Good morning #Taiwan. Today, we have a chance to make history & show the world that progressive values can take root in an East Asian society. Today, we can show the world that #LoveWins.
Investments in #Taiwan are gaining steam. Many Taiwanese companies have already returned & invested over NTD250 billion (USD8 billion) this year to date. To unleash the potential of our economy, I gave the Economics Ministry a new stretch goal for this year: NTD500 billion!
Three cheers for growing #Taiwan-#EU ties! We already share strong synergies in transportation, energy, the digital economy, & people-to-people exchanges. We look forward to signing a bilateral investment agreement with the EU & accomplishing more together!
Foreign missions in Taiwan work day in & day out to bring our countries closer together. With the #WHA approaching, I want to thank them for choosing to #SpeakUpForTaiwan’s right to health, and recognising the important contributions we can make to #globalhealthsecurity.
Thankfully, many countries understand that to achieve #HealthForAll, everyone has to be on board. So up until today, many like-minded countries including #Australia, #Canada, #France, #Germany, #Japan, the #US & #UK chose to #SpeakUpForTaiwan & help complete the #WHA story.
Global health is an important issue & what happens at #WHA is an important story. However, for the past few years, that story has been incomplete because one chapter has been missing: The chapter on #Taiwan.
#China is taking advantage of #Taiwan's free and open democracy to create divisions in our society. But rest assured: We will never compromise on #PressFreedom. NEVER. twitter.com/RSF_eastasia/s…
A case of African swine flu was reported in our neighbour, #HongKong. As #Taiwan serves as a transportation hub for the region, our sniffer dogs are working very hard to protect our local swine industry & prevent an outbreak in Taiwan.
Wishing all mothers in #Taiwan & around the world a very happy #MothersDay!
Throughout #Taiwan, I met people from all walks of life at local temples & often had the most inspiring conversations. That helps me be a better president. Through democratic dialogue, our country is moving forward as people come together & push for change.
The best way to ensure peace is through strong self-defence. This week, we officially inaugurated #Taiwan’s submarine manufacturing factory, taking a big step forward towards stronger self-defence capabilities.
Nuestros encantadores amigos paraguayos han llamado Kunu'u a nuestra hermosa orquídea. Esta es una muestra más de nuestra parte que celebra la larga amistad entre #Taiwan y #Paraguay. twitter.com/silvana_abdo/s…
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.
My foremost responsibility as president is to keep the people of #Taiwan safe. I'm proud that last weekend our military, police, & coast guard carried out joint exercises, showing our counterterrorism capabilities & resolve to protect our country from invasion.
The political goals of a single country should never be more important than global health security. I strongly condemn #China for trying to deprive #Taiwan’s 23 million people of their right to be part of the #globalhealth security network. #TaiwanCanHelp
On #WorldPressFreedomDay2019, I renew my commitment to ensuring an environment where journalists can pursue truth without fear. I also call upon like-minded friends around the globe to come together, combat #disinformation, & make sure that our shared values will prevail.
Here in #Taiwan we celebrate #ReligiousFreedom, and it’s not uncommon to see a Confucian temple, a Buddhist temple, and a shrine to local gods within walking distance. Today, the temple’s performing group wowed our special guests with an electrifying show.
