During an interview with Ku, I was asked if Taiwan still wants to participate in the @WHO after being unfairly excluded in the past. This was my answer. Full interview: youtu.be/s0E2B5k8-f0
On #InternationalNursesDay, be sure to thank the frontline heroes in your life who are dedicating their time & expertise to keeping people safe & healthy. Their courage & compassion is an inspiration to us all as we work together to meet the challenges of the #COVID19 pandemic.
Taiwan’s story is one of unity, diversity, & a refusal to succumb to adversity. This is the message of our inauguration ceremony’s visual theme, a tribute to the strength of our democracy & our determination to engage with the world.
#TuneInForTaiwan! Due to the #COVID19 outbreak, we will be streamlining the inauguration ceremony, but I sincerely invite you to join our livestream on May 20 as I share my vision for Taiwan’s future.
I want to offer my utmost thanks to our diplomatic allies for standing up for #Taiwan’s participation in the @WHO. We are an integral link in the global health network, & with more access to the WHO, Taiwan would be able to offer more help in the global fight against #COVID19.
No words can express my gratitude to VP Chen Chien-jen for his selfless service to #Taiwan. Over the past 4 years, he has been both a partner & a friend, handling contentious issues at home & representing our nation abroad with intelligence, integrity, & heart.
Despite the challenges, preparations are well underway for our #Taiwan520 inauguration ceremony. I want to thank everyone working behind the scenes to make this event possible & helping share the best parts of #Taiwan with the world.
A year ago today, the sun shone a little brighter in #Taiwan when marriage equality became a reality. #IDAHOTB
