History belongs to those who stand firm & honour their commitments. Such an honour to address the Parliament of #Nauru on behalf of #Taiwan’s 23 million people, reaffirming our commitment to building a sustainable future with our families in the #IndoPacific. #OceansOfDemocracy
I thank President Waqa for his generosity & hospitality. At a time when our region requires all stakeholders to cooperate, #Nauru & #Taiwan will work tirelessly together to ensure a free, open, & prosperous #IndoPacific. #OceansOfDemocracy
Iakwe! Wonderful to see you again, President Heine! #OceansOfDemocracy
I was honoured to be invited by @President_Heine to address the Pacific Women Leaders Coalition Conference. #Taiwan is ready, willing, & able to play a greater & long-term role in promoting gender equality in the #IndoPacific. #OceansOfDemocracy
Aloha! Good to be back in #Hawaii again & welcomed by #Taiwan’s faithful friend #AIT Chairman Moriarty. Just arrived at the banquet & delighted to see so many old and new faces tonight! #OceansOfDemocracy
Glad to discuss #Taiwan’s worth to the #IndoPacific with @EdFeulner, @KayColesJames, @SenCoryGardner & @RepTedYoho at the @Heritage event. We're willing & able to play a bigger role in fostering regional stability, prosperity, & respect for rules-based order. #OceansOfDemocracy
During my #OceansOfDemocracy Presidential Visit, I saw time & time again #Taiwan’s strong partnerships with three of its #Pacific allies: #Palau, #Nauru, & the #MarshallIslands. Here is a video of the three presidents greeting the people of Taiwan!
My heartfelt congratulations to #ZuzanaCaputova for being the 1st female president of #Slovakia. Your victory again proves #Women can overcome all obstacles & fulfil our dreams & aspirations. I hope to work with you to guard our shared values of transparency & #HumanRights.
As Commander-in-Chief, I will resolutely protect #Taiwan’s security & sovereignty. As #China continues to challenge regional security, I want to remind the Beijing authorities: do not deliberately provoke; do not instigate trouble; & do not sabotage the cross-strait status quo.
As long as we believe in ourselves, we can unleash our unlimited potential. Honoured to be included on this ever-growing map of female leaders around the world. Together let’s create a future where the term “female leader” is a thing of the past. twitter.com/AFP/status/111…
Seeing smiles on people’s faces & hope in their eyes is one of the best parts of my job as President. The 2019 @UN @HappinessRpt ranks #Taiwan the happiest in East Asia for two years in a row, & moves us up a spot this year to 25th in the world, a recognition of my team’s efforts
It’s been a week since I came back from my #OceansOfDemocracy trip. I’m reflecting on the warm souls I met during my journey. This is Joyful Sosefo, who performed at the dinner banquet in #Nauru. She is only 10 years old but her stunning voice wowed everyone that night.
As Commander-in-Chief, I stand with our brilliant members of the Airforce & we will safeguard the security & sovereignty of our country. Don’t underestimate our resolve & determination to defend this #IslandOfResilience. #TaiwanStrong
It’s tonight! I invite you to the 2019 Presidential Office Concert, an aural delight & visual feast celebrating the beauty of our country. You can also join us online here: youtu.be/1BU0VTqTGOQ
Thank you for joining me at the Presidential Office Concert. We sang together, we cheered together and most importantly, we stood together as one. No matter where you come from in #Taiwan, we are all citizens of our #IslandOfResilience.
Today is #Taiwan’s Freedom of Speech Day. Yet even now, external forces are taking advantage of our freedom of speech to spread disinformation & erode our freedoms. As President, I won’t allow it & I will continue to fight the good fight to secure our future. #IslandOfResilience
On the eve of #TRA40, I will be addressing a conference hosted by @CSIS, @BrookingsInst, & @TheWilsonCenter. In this ever-changing world, the importance of #Taiwan shouldn’t be overlooked. Join us: bit.ly/2YMK6g4
Throughout my career, I have never backed down from a challenge and never will. Keeping #Taiwan on the right track is my primary goal. I vow to continue fighting for the country and will seek re-election to complete the mission.
In 1979, the Taiwan Relations Act opened a new chapter in #Taiwan-#US relations. 40 years later, our ties have become a force for good, & Taiwan a beacon of democracy in the world. Here is my #TRA40 video address to commemorate the anniversary: bit.ly/2VxOIVe
History is made when great minds come together. Scientists at @AcademiaSinica teamed up with research teams around the world for over two years to capture the first-ever images of black holes. Can’t wait to see what other mysteries of the universe you unravel together. twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/…
Another great evening at @AmChamTaipei Hsieh Nien Fan sharing what my team has achieved over the past year: stable GDP growth, low unemployment rates, & more investments flowing in from around the world. We’ll continue to ensure that #Taiwan’s economy remains on track.
Over the past 3 years, my team has been working tirelessly to elevate #Taiwan’s strategic importance in the world. The visit of Deputy Assistant Secretary David Meale is testament to our growing engagement on global economic issues with the #US.
Free press plays a vital role in democracy. I am pleased to see @Focus_Taiwan CNA’s overseas internship program now offers our undergraduates more opportunities to become the journalists we need to help us know the truth about ourselves & the world.
Tai Tzu-ying has once again shown the world what one can achieve with unstoppable persistence & determination. This is the spirit of #Taiwan, the #IslandOfResilience. twitter.com/bwfmedia/statu…
