No trip around #Taiwan would be complete without a stop in #Taitung, which combines pristine landscapes, vibrant indigenous cultures, and a thriving arts scene. Every time I visit, I discover a new facet of this hidden gem on the Pacific.
This month, I will embark on the Journey of Freedom, Democracy, Sustainability to 4 of #Taiwan’s #Caribbean allies, making transit stops in the #US. Over the course of the visit, we will renew our commitment to shared values and ensure a brighter future for all. #JFDS2019
Delighted to welcome #Belize Governor-General Sir Colville Young and his delegation to #Taiwan. As we mark three decades of diplomatic ties, I'm grateful to #Belize for their unflagging friendship, and their outspoken support for #Taiwan on the international stage.
#Taiwan & the rest of the world are closely watching developments in the #HongKongProtests. As President of a country that walked the long road to democracy, I urge the #HongKong government to address the legitimate concerns of the people & their pursuit of freedom & democracy.
#Cybersecurity is the future of national defense. That is why we have passed legislation to combat #disinformation and protect #Taiwan from infiltration by external forces, protecting the people & their right to choose their own future.
Making our Presidential Office more open & inclusive has been a goal of mine since taking office. To celebrate 100 years at the Presidential Office Building, I invite you all to #TellMeWhatYouSee. Because you know what they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I will always stand by my belief that there are no gender prerequisites for strong leadership. #Taiwan supports all women, no matter the role they play, because women are the essential thread that holds the fabric of society together.
It was heartwarming to see #transitionaljustice take the next step forward today, officially overturn unjust convictions, and restore the reputations of so many victims of political oppression. The road to #justice is long, but we are determined to see it through to the very end.
Our bright & outstanding young athletes are shining at the @Napoli2019_ita, where they’ve already won 4🥇, 5🥈, & 3🥉. With 6 days left at #Napoli2019, the people of #Taiwan & I will continue to cheer them on!
Pleased that the #US government has approved another arms sale package, boosting #Taiwan’s self-defense capabilities. We’ll continue to speed up investment in national defense, & partner with like-minded countries to defend democracy while promoting regional peace and stability.
Any state visit is a group effort. Before we embark on my Journey of Freedom, Democracy, Sustainability tomorrow, I want to thank my team as they are all working hard on the advance work, logistics, security, & all the details to ensure a successful #JFDS2019
Ready for take-off! I’m delighted to launch my #JFDS2019 today, & look forward to seeing our #Caribbean allies soon. Everyone in my delegation is excited about our mission, determined to share Taiwan values like freedom and democracy, and promote sustainable development. #SDGs
Proud to see our Air Force keeping our skies safe as I embark on #JFDS2019.
It’s a pleasure to land in #NewYorkCity to meet with like-minded friends old and new. This city has long been a destination for people from all over the world seeking freedom, so it’s a good place to start my Journey of Freedom, Democracy, Sustainability #JFDS2019.
On this long journey far from home, nothing feels better than the warm welcome I received from the #Taiwanese community in #NYC. #JFDS2019
I had a wonderful time meeting with our allies’ Permanent Representatives to the #UN @TaiwanInNewYork. We toasted to our countries’ friendship and their steadfast support for #Taiwan’s international participation. #JFDS2019
In our ever-changing world, our allies’ unwavering support helps #Taiwan connect with the international community. We are determined to do more to contribute our expertise and show the world that #TaiwanCanHelp.
Today’s Business Summit was testament to the growing momentum of #Taiwan-#US business ties. It was terrific to have a chance to meet business leaders & discuss how we can explore more collaboration opportunities in the future. #JFDS2019
#Taiwan’s story is one of perseverance, of a commitment to democracy at all costs. Today I had the opportunity to share our story at @Columbia, and together we looked toward the next chapter in the tale of Taiwan’s democratic success. #JFDS2019 Full text: bit.ly/2ScWqmS
I want to thank @Columbia for inviting me to share #Taiwan’s democratic success story, discuss our current challenges, and reaffirm our commitment to promoting and preserving democracy at home, and throughout the world. #JFDS2019 twitter.com/Columbia/statu…
Thank you, @NEDemocracy & @freedomhouse, for your gift “The Goddess of Democracy”. Your recognition of #Taiwan’s successful democratic story once again shows that the people of Taiwan are not alone in our pursuit of freedom & #democracy. #JFDS2019 twitter.com/NEDemocracy/st…
I want to thank all of our friends in the #US Congress who came to show their support for #Taiwan during our stopover in #NewYork. Taiwan will never waver in its commitment to freedom, democracy, & human rights, and our like-minded partners stand with us. #JFDS2019
Cheers to a lasting #Taiwan-#US friendship. Delighted to enjoy a banquet with more than 1,000 Taiwanese Americans & friends of Taiwan on our last night in New York. Their support for our diplomatic mission is heartwarming as we continue on our #JFDS2019.
Spent the morning strolling through Central Park with young, active members of our overseas Taiwanese community. We shared stories about our time living in New York, and their experiences in advocating for #Taiwan on the international stage. #JFDS2019
Honored to receive a warm welcome from President @moisejovenel. Our flagship project here is a win-win-win model of international cooperation. It benefits Haitian development, #Taiwan overseas business cooperation, and #Taiwan-#Haiti friendship. #JFDS2019
