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.

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.

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…

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.
507
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.

Wishing all mothers in #Taiwan & around the world a very happy #MothersDay!

#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…

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.
513
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.

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!

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.

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.
520
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.

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.

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.
524
We truly appreciate #StVincentAndTheGrenadines Health Minister Luke Browne’s staunch support of #Taiwan. The representation of the 23 million people of Taiwan in @WHO should not be subject to a single country’s one-sided interpretations.

When the @WHO turns it back on #Taiwan, we choose to persevere & continue to contribute to global health security. It’s heartening to have the support from #Palau’s Health Minister Emai Roberts.
