Today we dedicate the new AIT compound,we also rededicate ourselves to our shared commitment that as free & open democracies, #Taiwan & #US have an obligation to work w/ one another to defend our shared values. I look forward 2 an even brighter chapter in our enduring friendship!
I have a great pleasure to decorate Congressman @GreggHarper, a good friend of #Taiwan. Thank you for defending the values of #freedom & #democracy with us. I wish you the very best as you are going to retire after giving so much for the people of #Taiwan.
Wonderful to see #AIT Chairman Moriarty again. We thank the #US for speaking up against Chinese pressure on int’l airlines to change their designation of #Taiwan. Our people deeply cherish the friendship that the US has shown us.
The visit of @ECA_AS Marie Royce is appreciated by the people of #Taiwan. I look forward to working closely together to deepen our #educational & #cultural cooperation.

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.
I’m very pleased to welcome #Belize House Speaker Tucker-Longsworth, Senate President Chang & Senator Duncan to #Taiwan. I’m sure their visit will help promote trade exchanges and strengthen our bilateral relationship!
This week the military #pension reform bill passed the Legislature. I want to thank all of our #veterans. Because of your support, now we can have a sustainable pension system for #Taiwan’s veterans past, present, & future!
Today, we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the #Taiwan Foundation for #Democracy & reaffirm our determination to ensure that democracy will continue to shape the future of our world. Even though #China tries to undermine our democratic way of life, we will never give in.
It’s a pleasure sharing w/ @AFP how the resolve & resilience of Taiwanese ppl turned #Taiwan into a vibrant #democracy. I invite all like-minded countries to work together so we can protect our shared values of democracy & freedom. #islandofresilience afp.com/en/news/23/tai…
As Commander-in-Chief, I’m proud to see so many fine young officers graduate from the ROC Military Academy. Starting today, they begin a life of service like no other. They will protect the country & ensure our hard-earned #democracy will continue to survive & thrive!
I’m pleased to confer the Order of Brilliant Star with Grand Cordon upon Kin Moy, Director of the AIT. Over the past 3 years, his efforts have brought #Taiwan-#US relations to new heights. Kin, I wish you all the best in your future endeavours. You will be missed!
西日本を中心に発生した豪雨に遭われた日本国民の皆様にお見舞い申し上げます。被害に遭われた方々の回復と被災地の早期復旧をお祈り申し上げます。 台湾でも豪雨被害は頻発しており、我々もその被害の深刻さを身をもって経験しています。 台湾は日本が必要とするあらゆる支援を行う用意があります。
Tonight, government agencies are prepared & vigilent as #TyphoonMaria arrives in #Taiwan. Stay safe.
Congratulations to #Taiwan’s Tseng Chun-hsin for the well-earned victory at #Wimbledon & being the 1st junior tennis player to complete the Channel Slam since 2004! 👍🏼 twitter.com/wimbledon/stat…
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.
Congratulations to #Kiribati Ambassador Lambourne on her new post to #Taiwan. I look forward to deepening our bilateral cooperation & promoting sustainable #fisheries together in the years to come! 🇹🇼🇰🇮
#China’s attempt to block #Taiwan’s int’l participation will only reinforce our determination to play an active & positive role in the world. At this testing time, it’s heartening to see former #US @DeptofDefense #SecDef Ash Carter reaffirm our shared democratic values.
Cancellation of the 2019 #EastAsianYouthGames on #China's orders isn't acceptable to #Taiwan people. I support #Taichung & the National Olympic Committee in righting this wrong. Global solidarity is needed more than ever, as Taiwan is the canary in the coal mine of China’s rise.
#China's sharp power is challenging the existing rules-based int'l order & the cross-strait status quo. However, #Taiwan will persevere, & continue to use platforms like the Ketagalan Forum to engage w/ the world.
Today we rolled out the red carpet for our good friend, @President_Heine. I look forward to discussing ways of deepening exchanges & friendship between #Taiwan & #MarshallIslands. 🇹🇼🇲🇭
Today we are joined by friends from 13 Pacific countries/areas to celebrate #IndigenousPeoples Day at the 2018 #Austronesian Forum. As true reconciliation arises from dialogue b/w different ethnic groups, my admin will continue to promote #transitionaljustice in #Taiwan.
Today is one of my favourite days of the year. It’s a blessing to share an intimate morning with my colleagues & their families on the yearly Presidential Office #FamilyDay!
My thoughts are with the victims of the deadly earthquake in Lombok, #Indonesia. #Taiwan stands ready to help our Indonesian friends at this difficult time.
Saya mengucapkan turut berduka cita yang sedalam-dalamnya atas bencana gempa bumi di Lombok, #Indonesia. #Taiwan bersedia dan siap membantu sebagai sahabat dalam menghadapi masa sukar.
