Delighted to welcome @Republic_Nauru 🇳🇷 President Lionel Aingimea to #Taiwan for his state visit. Since taking office, he has been a staunch friend to our country, & I look forward to discussing how to further deepen our partnership.
Today #Taiwan & #Nauru signed an aviation agreement that will allow flights between our countries in the future, bringing with them stronger people-to-people ties. Cheers to lasting friendship!
Today marked an unexpected milestone: the first time in the 100-year history of the Presidential Office that stinky tofu was served at a state banquet. Smiles & thumbs-up all around!
This week marked another milestone, as annual tourist visits reached a new all-time high. As President, I have the privilege of sharing #Taiwan’s beauty, warmth, & cultural diversity with the world. I’m grateful to each person who comes to experience our country for themselves.
台灣是一個民主社會,大家都可以自由創作。如果連總統在影片上都不能聊一下的話,對我們所共同珍惜的價值是很大的違背。不管是企業或是創作者,這些事件讓我們知道:在中國,確實沒有所謂「政治歸政治,經濟歸經濟」這件事。我希望大家珍惜我們的民主,因為這都是一切經濟、創意跟創作,最重要的條件。
Disappointed to see Chinese censorship attempting to encroach on #Taiwan’s creative freedoms once again. Creative freedom is part of what makes democracy so vibrant, & no one should be subject to intimidation for exercising their freedom of speech.
Taiwanese society is a tapestry woven from countless cultures, & that diversity is one of our greatest strengths. For more than 3 years, we have worked to better support naturalized citizens from around the world, because they are an irreplaceable part of #Taiwan. #LetsWin2020
New #Honduran Ambassador Bautista Guevara presented her credentials today, and we look forward to working with @embhntw to strengthen bilateral ties & deepen cooperation in public health, agriculture, education, technology, & tourism.
A strong leader needs a clear vision, a concrete policy plan, & the determination to see it through. At our first pre-election policy address, I outlined our administration’s efforts over the past 3 years & our vision for #Taiwan’s future. #LetsWin2020 #TaiwanElection
The power of democracy comes from its ability to bring together people from all walks of life, & that’s exactly what we did at last night’s campaign concert.
台湾人は選挙に対してだけ熱くなるわけではありません。200万人もの日本人が台湾に来てくれたのは、人に対しても台湾人は熱い心を持っているから!この動画をぜひ見てください!
世界中がフェイクニュースに関心を寄せていますが「フェイクなリアルニュース」も存在するんですよ!この動画はまさに台日の文化的な違いを面白く表現したフェイクなリアルニュースです。では言葉遊びはやめて、早速動画を見てみましょう。思わず笑ってしまいますよ!
Nas & Alyne travel the world sharing unique stories with millions of people, & it was a pleasure to have them spend a night at the Presidential Office. Their videos will help us share #Taiwan’s culture, beauty, & unique history with new friends worldwide. youtu.be/-4Ki0xNSaTk
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas filled with family, friends, & good cheer!
No words can express my gratitude to VP #ChenChienjen for his many years of selfless service to #Taiwan. In this video, he shares some thoughts about what we’ve accomplished thus far, & how we can determine our own future by making the right choices. ▶️bit.ly/39dBS5J
Each policy address is a team effort, & I’m grateful to have such a hardworking team around me. It is very important to me that we communicate our policies clearly to the people, so that they know exactly the future they’re voting for. #LetsWin2020 #TaiwanElection
#Taiwan is a key player in the world economy, with forward-looking policies to keep us ahead of the curve during the ongoing global economic restructuring. Our economy has made considerable progress over the past 3 years, & I’m confident we can achieve even more over the next 4.
#Taiwan’s No. 4 global ranking in the latest Profit Opportunity Recommendation report by US-based BERI SA shows why so many cutting-edge multinational firms & domestic companies are bullish on Taiwan's economic future & increasing their investments here. twitter.com/MOFA_Taiwan/st…
#Taiwan needs a leader who can bring the people together & stand strong against emerging challenges. When it comes to our nation’s sovereignty, I will never back down. #LetsWin2020
As 2019 comes to a close, I look forward to what 2020 will bring for #Taiwan & our like-minded friends around the world. Wishing everyone a happy New Year!
Democracies around the world are working to prevent infiltration from China, & today #Taiwan joined in this effort by passing an anti-infiltration act to defend our democracy. Here on the front lines, we are taking all necessary measures to protect our values & way of life.
新年あけましておめでとうございます。 皆様におかれましては希望に満ちた令和最初の新春をお迎えのことと心からお慶び申し上げます。 本年は台日関係が一層深まるとともに、皆様一人ひとりのご健康とご多幸を、心よりお祈り申し上げます。 「世の中をゆり直すらん日の始め」
In 2020, we are going to ensure more people are cared for, keep improving our economy, & continue strengthening our sovereignty, freedom, & democracy. Together we can ensure that the light of democracy & freedom once again shines on #Taiwan & the entire world.
In my New Year’s Address, I reiterated my belief in the "four musts" & "four understandings" & emphasized the significance of the anti-infiltration act’s passage. Full text: english.president.gov.tw/News/5946
My deepest condolences go out to the outstanding servicemen lost in today’s helicopter crash, as well as their families. We will do everything we can to help their families in this time of loss & investigate the cause of the crash.
