Today I received a special gift from @Europarl_EN-Taiwan Friendship Group: a statement signed by 155 members who chose to #SpeakUpForTaiwan. The fates of democracies are intertwined, particularly when the fight to defend democracy is getting tougher: #TaiwanMatters.
402
With gracious support from so many friends in the diplomatic community, #Taiwan proudly contributes to building a more open, free, & prosperous world. I look forward to working with like-minded partners & creating more brilliant memories in the year ahead!

This is my Hakka tutor, who teaches me to speak my father’s mother tongue & helps me connect with my mixed ethnic backgrounds. On the #InternationalMotherLanguageDay, #Taiwan joins the world in celebrating our linguistic & cultural diversity.
404
This week, #Taiwan's Cabinet passed a bill recognising same-sex love & marriage. In the eyes of Cupid, everyone is equal.

昨日（2/22）は日本の「猫の日」だったと、さきほど気が付きました。動物を愛する世界中の人々がそれぞれのスタイルでこの日を過ごしたことと思います。私の飼いネコ、Cookie（クッキー）も台湾から皆様によろしくと言っています！
#猫の日

This week we opened #Taiwan’s first intelligent driving vehicle test centre, Taiwan CAR Lab. My administration is making every effort to help the country get ready for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
409
Reconciliation is only possible when we can recognise & openly discuss the wrong deeds that have been committed in the past. On 228 Peace Memorial Day, I recommit to the vows that transitional justice & true freedom of speech must be forever cherished in #Taiwan.

台湾の対外貿易の質と量、それに経済的実力のいずれを見ても、台湾がCPTPPに参加することは他の参加国のメリットになります。産経新聞によるインタビューの中でも、私は台湾のTPP参加に強い意欲を示しました。
411
台湾は中国が太平洋へ出入りする要衝であり、ハイテク産業の生産拠点が集まる場所です。台湾が存在しなくなったり、民主主義や自由を失うことがあれば、世界の産業がダメージを受けます。ですから私は産経新聞に対し、国際社会はもっと台湾の存在を重視すべきだと訴えました。
412
私は産経新聞の取材に対し、「一国二制度」は両岸問題を解決する処方箋にはならないと述べました。我々が中国を挑発しませんが、必要があれば世界に向けて明言します。「一国二制度」を拒否し、民主的な生活を守ることは私たちにとって譲れない一線です。中国に誤解をさせてはいけません。
413
本日の産経新聞で、私は他国と協力して台湾の民主主義を守る決意を示しました。台湾は近年、「特定の国」からの世論操作や偽情報攻撃を頻繁に受けていますが、どの国も次の攻撃対象になり得るのです。台湾は、日本とこの問題について話し合えるよう願っています。bit.ly/2HaaE4v

During an interview with @Sankei_news, I took the opportunity to share with our friends from #Japan #Taiwan’s strong willingness to join the #CPTPP. With our top-quality products & high export volume, #TaiwanCanHelp advance this potential-laden regional trade partnership.
415
Taiwan’s strategic location & high-tech industry leadership make it an indispensable stakeholder in the international economy. The global supply chain will be severely impacted if Taiwan is deleted. I call on all countries to recognise #Taiwan’s value to the #IndoPacific & world.
416
417
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
418
In terms of global democratisation, #Taiwan is proof that democratic & economic development go hand in hand. Our #IslandOfResilience is a force for good in the world & there's no doubt #TaiwanCanHelp promote & safeguard freedom, democracy, shared values, and rules-based order.
419
In the latest @WorldBank report on Women, Business & the Law 2019, #Taiwan is ranked as top tier among 187 economies & is one of the 6 countries where all job restrictions on women have been removed. I believe that every woman should be given the right to pursue her aspirations.
420
My thanks to Speaker Kedi for the visit today. We discussed how a closer #Taiwan-#MarshallIslands partnership can benefit our two peoples & the #IndoPacific. Based on our shared values, I hope our good friend will continue to #SpeakUpForTaiwan.

This is Tseng Yi-hsuan, who overcame obstacles with resilience & won 1🥇&1🥉 in the 2015 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Los Angeles. Next week, she & 49 #Taiwan athletes are going to beat their bests in the 2019 @WorldGamesAD. Good luck! 💪🏼
423
Happy #InternationalWomensDay! I will continue to promote #GenderEquality & ensure that all women in #Taiwan have the resources & opportunities they need to pursue their aspirations. 🙌🏼 #SheForShe #AllForShe
424
#Throwback to last week when I met with His Eminence Cardinal Filoni, @Pontifex’s special envoy, at the Presidential Office. #ReligiousFreedom is central to our democratic way of life in #Taiwan.
425
#Taiwan knows how it feels when someone tries to take away your rights, delete your identity, & challenge your way of life. So we stand with those who were oppressed & whose religious rights were taken away by authoritarian regimes. We support #ReligiousFreedom.
