Today I gathered with members of the Jewish & diplomatic communities in Taiwan to remember the victims of the Holocaust. As we work to address discrimination & authoritarianism around the world, it is more important than ever that we never forget this tragedy.
Thank you to all the amazing women who joined the Climate Justice Leaders' Seminar to share your insights. #Taiwan is engaging with our partners around the world & sharing our own experience so that together, we can do more to promote women's empowerment & address climate change.

Taiwan stands with the democratic world in demanding an end to violence against noncombatants in Ukraine. Targeted killing of civilians must be condemned, and those responsible investigated and brought to justice under international law.
