Although it’s been a year filled with challenges, 2020 has also been a year of friendship & resilience, bringing us closer to our global democratic partners. Was great to discuss these challenges & the values we share with friends from around the world. english.president.gov.tw/NEWS/6078
#Taiwan is once again leading the way for civic freedoms in Asia. We’re honoured to be recognised by @CIVICUSMonitor as the most open country in the region & won’t stop fighting for a freer, more inclusive society. twitter.com/CIVICUSMonitor…
It was an honour to speak at the @NDI gala & recognise those who paved the way for human rights & democratic progress in #Taiwan & the #US. We look forward to your Taipei office opening, & will stand with you to #DefendDemocracy throughout the Asia-Pacific region & the world. twitter.com/NDI/status/133…
来年の誕生日は台湾でお過ごしください! twitter.com/michinara3/sta…
#Taiwan’s partnership with the #US is as strong as it has ever been, & we are proud to stand together to #DefendDemocracy around the world. We are determined for Taiwan to continue to shine as a beacon of democracy & human rights in Asia, lighting the way for a brighter future.
Thank you @HudsonInstitute for the platform to speak about #Taiwan’s efforts to strengthen our democracy, security & economy. We appreciate the support from the #US & our global partners, as we work for greater peace & prosperity in the Indo-Pacific. youtu.be/6n4zYlbvePw
The path of human rights is an endless one, & in Taiwan, change is still happening every day. This #HumanRightsDay, I reaffirm #Taiwan’s commitment to #StandUp4HumanRights & further expand our international cooperation to protect these most fundamental ideals.
I’m proud that #Taiwan is a leading light for human rights & #MarriageEquality. But there is still so much more we can do, so we will continue to work towards creating a more open & tolerant society.
Made in Taiwan, to serve #Taiwan. I was delighted to see our latest #MadeInTaiwan ship unveiled, ready to serve our tireless Coast Guard Administration on their mission to keep our waters safe.
I am determined for #Taiwan to continue being a model of freedom & democracy for the region. Sticking by these core values not only places us on stronger footing, but also secures a better future for our next generation.
2021年は台湾と日本の友情をいっそう深める一年です。来年は各方面で日本とさらに緊密な協力関係を築けるよう願っています!
Thank you for the recognition, but #Taiwan’s successful #COVID19 response was a team effort. The incredible dedication of our people meant we were able to live our lives as normal & continue to thrive. twitter.com/Forbes/status/…
My deepest condolences go out to the people of Eswatini on the passing of Prime Minister Ambrose Dlamini. He was an admirable leader & a true friend to Taiwan. He will be sorely missed. twitter.com/EswatiniGovern…
We can think of many reasons why #TaiwanMatters, but here’s one more: nytimes.com/2020/12/14/opi…
Proud to see #MadeInTaiwan ships set sail again, as we continue to make great progress. Developing #Taiwan's indigenous defense industries is a top priority, so we’re upgrading our military capabilities through innovation to keep Taiwan's waters safe & protect our sovereignty.
Honoured to feature in my alma mater @CornellLaw’s magazine along with such inspiring alumni. This was a great chance to share my perspective on leadership & how the people of #Taiwan united to fight off the pandemic.

.@JimmyLaiApple’s arrest is another example of how freedom & human rights have been eroded in #HongKong. Although our political opinions may sometimes differ, I admire Jimmy’s courage & his pursuit of freedom & democracy. Now it’s more important than ever to #StandWithHongKong.
What a joy to spend time with these adorable tots & their hardworking teachers. It’s great to see our @MoNDefense is so committed to caring for the kids of those who keep us safe. The future of Taiwan is in good hands.
Working together, we are protecting our health & creating a more equal society. #BetterTogether
On behalf of the government & the people of Taiwan, I wish @EmmanuelMacron a speedy recovery. It is crucial that we remain united in the fight against COVID-19, as this battle is far from over.
Wishing our friends around the world well this #InternationalMigrantsDay. People from so many different backgrounds have come to #Taiwan, helping us become a more diverse, stronger society. Thank you for making Taiwan home & sharing your unique cultures with us.
Proud to hand our new Black Hawk helicopters over to the men & women in uniform dedicated to rescuing those in need. Your important work helps keep #Taiwan safe, & for that we are forever grateful.
Today is the Winter Solstice Festival, or as we call it Dongzhi (#冬至), in #Taiwan. At this time of year, it’s traditional to bundle up with a piping hot bowl of sticky rice balls called tangyuan (湯圓). Hope everyone stays warm & has a wonderful Dongzhi with family & friends.
It was moving to take a trip back in time & rediscover some of #Taiwan’s early #ModernArt. I’m inspired by these pioneering artists’ creativity & can see their passion reflected in the young Taiwanese people of today.
Today we recorded our first domestic case of #COVID19 in 253 days. This is a reminder to everyone in #Taiwan to stay vigilant. It shows that the pandemic is far from over, & that international cooperation is key, because we're all in this together.
