I launched #NewSouthboundPolicy 3 years ago because I saw so much untapped potential for #Taiwan to play a bigger role in the development of our region. Today the policy has borne fruit & set up a stage for Taiwan & NSP countries to work even closer together in the future.

This month we officially began construction work on #Taiwan’s very first offshore wind farm in Taichung. Three years ago, some said that was impossible or too complex. I said #WeCanDoIt.
And now we are doing it.

. @SenCoryGardner is a staunch friend of Taiwan, also a true defender of our shared values. This month he sponsored the TAIPEI ACT, supporting a stronger #Taiwan-#US relationship & consolidating Taiwan’s int’l space.
I sincerely thank him for his steadfast support!

Over the weekend I took @SenCoryGardner for a stroll in an area in Taipei known as Dadaocheng, the spiritual birthplace of #Taiwan’s democracy movement. I was delighted to have spent a Sunday afternoon with a like-minded friend who understands why #TaiwanMatters.

At the Taiwan Council for U.S. Affairs (formerly CCNAA) renaming ceremony, we witnessed another milestone in our #Taiwan-#US friendship. We will continue to live up to the democratic values that define this precious partnership, & a force for good in the #IndoPacific region.

I’ve always believed that no matter what kind of challenges facing us, history belongs to those who honour their values. And I get pumped up whenever I meet with my fellow citizens, who push #Taiwan forward with the aspirations that they hold in common.

We stand with all freedom-loving people of #HongKong. In their faces, we see the longing for freedom, & are reminded that #Taiwan’s hard-earned democracy must be guarded & renewed by every generation.

This month #Taiwan is hosting the @FBI National Academy Associates #AsiaPacific Retraining Conference for the 1st time. In the Information Age, we can’t overstate the importance of international intelligence cooperation, & Taiwan’s indispensable role in this region.
