On the first day of the #YearoftheDog, Maru, Bella & Bunny are sending everyone warm wishes for a happy new year!
I thank @JimInhofe & visiting members of both Senate & House Armed Services Committees for their unwavering support for #Taiwan-#US relationship. We’ll continue to engage w/ US closely to safeguard our shared democratic values and ensure a free & open #IndoPacific region
At the 3rd annual #HolocaustRemembranceDay event in #Taiwan, we affirm our responsibilities to “Never Forget. Never Again.” We will launch a new #HumanRights museum to engage w/ the world, as well as strengthen human rights education for generations to come
Delighted to spend a wonderful evening at our foreign diplomatic corps spring reception tonight. I wished all ambassadors & representatives here in #Taiwan a prosperous & peaceful #YearOfTheDog
Today we commemorate the lives that perished during the 228 Incident 71 yrs ago. Only when we reconcile w/ the past, can we move forward together. Soon we’ll launch a Transitional Justice Promotion Committee & tell the world #Taiwan’s stories of pursuing #democracy & #HumanRights
#TaiwanTravelAct symbolizes the #US Congress' longstanding support for #Taiwan. The Taiwan-US partnership is a key pillar of peace & stability for the Indo-Pacific region & I am grateful to all members of Congress who supported this important bill
Appreciate comments made by @StateDept on #Taiwan being “a vital partner, a democratic success story & a force for good in the world.” We look fwd to continued work with US government to further Taiwan-US relations
Today #Taiwan joins the rest of the world to mark #InternationalWomensDay. While we recognize the progress we’ve made towards #genderparity, we recommit to #PressForProgess for all women & girls around the world
本日は、3.11東日本大震災を発生したから7年を迎えました。震災で犠牲された方々のご冥福をお祈るとともに、被災者の皆様にお見舞いを申し上げます。また、被災地の復興が一層進展することを切に願っています。

Thank you @POTUS for signing the #TaiwanTravelAct into law! I look forward to working with your administration to further the longstanding partnership between #Taiwan & the United States 🇹🇼🇺🇸
In the badminton 🏸 world, #Taiwan's Tai Tzu-ying is the best of the best. Yesterday she became the two-time @YonexAllEngland champion, the first women's singles player in more than a decade to successfully defend the title. We are all so proud of you! #YAE18 twitter.com/yonexallenglan…
Thank you to @AmChamTaipei for hosting a fantastic event & to all those attending yesterday. Business, government & the international community - all of us have a shared role & common stake in a more economically prosperous #Taiwan
I'm delighted to again meet @RepEdRoyce in Taipei. For this visit he took the inaugural @ChinaairlinesEN flight from @flyONT. This new route & #Taiwan's inclusion in the Global Entry Program will bring Taiwan & Southern California closer together
I'm honored to decorate my friend Congresswoman @RosLehtinen for her tremendous accomplishments for #Taiwan. She has been an outspoken advocate for #freedom, #democracy & an inspiration for all to follow in her footsteps!
#Taiwan's #health contributions are recognized around the world. I want to share a story of Nguyen Thi Loan from #Vietnam, who bravely underwent a series of complex surgeries giving her a second chance in life youtu.be/pN9TU41gROc
Today on #WorldHealthDay, I reiterate one of the @WHO's founding principles: "the highest attainable standard of #health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being." The people of #Taiwan have an inalienable right to participate in WHO & world health decisions
I'm grateful #Taiwan's diplomatic allies are sending letters to @DrTedros requesting Taiwan be invited to the World Health Assembly as an observer. We have much to share & contribute on discussions over #UniversalHealthCoverage. #Healthforall #TaiwanCanHelp
I remember the passing of Nylon Deng 29 years ago. Nylon was a freedom fighter & a helmsman in #Taiwan's road to #democracy. We have a duty to finish Nylon's work. Through transitional justice we will begin #reconciliation process to further strengthen our young democracy
I’m pleased to meet @grahamstuart and discuss potential #Taiwan-#UK cooperation in areas such as #fintech, #energy, and #infrastructure. Looking very much forward to our renewed partnership!

We celebrate the passage of the #Taiwan Relations Act 39 years ago. It is a law that is as relevant as it ever was & an enduring symbol of the #US commitment to Taiwan
We join the international community in condemning the development, possession & use of chemical weapons. We support international measures sanctioning any violators of international law
Wonderful to meet @dpletka & @AEI delegation and discuss how #Taiwan-#US relations serve to stabilize peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. Based on our shared democratic values and strategic interests, I trust our partnership will continue to grow deeper and deeper!
Last Friday, I was proud to see our Navy & Air Force successfully perform the drills in eastern #Taiwan. We have every confidence and determination to defend our country & #democracy!
