Taking our round-island railway is one of the best ways to see #Taiwan, & with recent upgrades, it’s more convenient than ever. I’m always amazed by Taiwan’s scenic beauty, & hope to share it with the world once we’ve beaten the pandemic.

Great to catch up with @JuanOrlandoH this Christmas Eve. Wishing everyone in #Honduras a merry Christmas & sincerely hope that life can go back to normal as soon as possible after hurricanes ETA & IOTA. #Taiwan will always be with you in times of need.

Although many may not be able to spend the holidays with loved ones this year, this Christmas I hope we can all share a spirit of togetherness to get us through these tough times. I hope everyone enjoys a very Merry Christmas & takes special care in the coming year.

It was a joy to spend Christmas Day with these kids from @edenfortaiwan. They brought a warmth that I hope everyone can share at this time of year.

電車の車窓から見える台湾の海は何種類の青色がありますか？
台湾を電化鉄道で一周できるようになり、美麗なる島を満喫する方法がまた一つ増えました！
早くコロナ禍を克服し、皆さんに見てほしいです。

Join me on a train journey to enjoy #Taiwan’s stunning coastal scenery. Once we get past the pandemic, we welcome you to take a trip around Taiwan, take in these sights with your own eyes & meet the world’s friendliest people along the way.

Thank you to our frontline workers for their incredible efforts to defend #Taiwan from #COVID19. We owe our safety to you & will continue to stand with you, as this battle is far from over.

We must always strive to heal the wounds of our past. This is what drives us in our pursuit of transitional justice for #Taiwan’s #IndigenousPeoples. There is still so much we need to do, so I thank all our indigenous leaders for working with us to build a better Taiwan for all.

2020這一年，大家還好嗎？
今年是相當辛苦的一年，突如其來的全球疫情，打亂了我們每天的步調，改變了每個人的日常生活，衝擊了每個國家的社會秩序。
但還好，我們生活在台灣。我們彼此合作，團結實現了民主防疫的成就，也讓國際看見了台灣這座堅韌之島的特質和能耐。
新的一年，讓我們一切都好。

On this day last year, we first learned of #COVID19 & began our pandemic response.
Before we say goodbye to 2020, let's look back on a challenging year & give those who’ve worked so hard to keep us safe their due. These are the people that deserve our heartfelt gratitude:
1388
Our frontline workers: #Taiwan’s medical workers, immigration personnel, quarantine taxi drivers, military & quarantine center workers have worked tirelessly, making great sacrifices for everyone’s health & safety.
1389
Our national face mask team: They took us from a net importer of medical masks to the second largest producer in the world – from 1.8 million to 20 million masks per day! Their hard work allowed us to donate 50+ million masks to other countries, showing how #TaiwanCanHelp.
1390
Our Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) & the people of #Taiwan: The CECC kept us all up to date daily with current events & new regulations. Most importantly, our people have been so caring & conscientious. Their commitment is the key to overcoming this challenge.
1391
The global pandemic is not yet over, so please stay vigilant, wear a mask, & do all you can to protect yourself & those around you. Let’s make #2021 the year we truly put an end to #COVID19.

あけましておめでとうございます。
「今年こそ」は新年の抱負で良く使う表現ですが、私は、今年こそパンデミックを克服し、誰もが元気いっぱい一年を過ごせるように、切に願います。
台湾で皆さんをお待ちしています！

Say “Happy New Year” to a friend in #Taiwan! Here many of us say “xīnnián kuàilè” (新年快樂) in #Mandarin or “sin-nî-khuài-lo̍k” in #Taiwanese. How do you wish people a Happy New Year in your language?
1396
Our city of #Kaohsiung’s New Year celebrations combined technological innovation with #Taiwanese tradition. This boat in the sky symbolises expelling evil spirits & the city’s prayer for a healthier world, as we head into 2021 full of hope.

Removing barriers to pork & beef imports is an important step to aligning #Taiwan with the international trade community. I also look forward to working with the #US to further enhance our trade & economic relations in the year ahead! 🇹🇼🇺🇸 twitter.com/WHNSC45/status…

We must come together & engage in open dialogue to ensure stability in the #IndoPacific. #Taiwan is committed to the peace of our region.

Congratulations to @SpeakerPelosi on your re-election as Speaker of the House. Your commitment to democracy & civil liberties is truly admirable, & with your help, we will continue to build a stronger #Taiwan-#US partnership based on these shared values. twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/…

These are the colleagues that sat next to me at the negotiating table more than 30 years ago & gave their all for #Taiwan on the international stage. Looking back, I’m grateful to have served as a trade negotiator, working to build a more prosperous future for our country.
