安倍晋三元首相が亡くなられて１年が経ちました。彼は先見性を持った政治家であり、台湾にとって真の友人でした。その遺志を貫徹することは、彼を追悼する最良の方法です。我々は台日関係の深化、民主主義の価値の追求に取り組み、真の意味で自由で開かれたインド太平洋を創造することを約束します。 twitter.com/MOFA_Taiwan/st…

Former National Security Adviser @AmbJohnBolton is a great supporter of #Taiwan & a personal friend. Unfortunately the #PRC made the same mistake by sanctioning him. That’s made him more determined to support us. Welcome to Taiwan, John. JW

Great to catch up with good friend Alain Richard & greet the @Senat VP’s colleagues @AlexndraBorchio, @valerieboyer13 & @DEVESA3. #Taiwan & #France are bound by a deep respect for freedom & democracy, which makes our partnership a natural fit! JW

A heartfelt welcome to #US🇺🇸 @GovernorVA! So pleased that @GlennYoungkin has chosen #Taiwan🇹🇼 to be his first stop in #Asia, we're sure that this 2-day visit will enhance our partnerships in both government & industry!

Minister Wu was honored to welcome @DrGiammattei & his top-notch #Guatemala🇬🇹 delegation including @ShirleyRiveraGt, @MarioBucaroGT & other VIPs to #Taiwan🇹🇼. Can’t wait to reciprocate the president’s hospitality during @iingwen’s state visit to our ally 3 weeks ago!

In WWII, the world witnessed a man invade one territory after another. “It’s the same," Minister Wu warned in his @globalnews interview. Whether it’s #Taiwan🇹🇼, the East or South China Seas, #China’s spurious claims must be refuted.

I concur. It’s very sad that the history & sovereignty of the #Baltic States are publicly twisted by the #PRC ambassador. Trust me, it takes #Taiwan to know & feel how far & how bad it can go. And honestly, it’s very bad. JW twitter.com/GLandsbergis/s…

Kudos to #ROK!
The best way to face up to a vicious wolf is to stare it down & yell back off. #PRC has no jurisdiction over #Taiwan & no right to change the status quo by force. WWII’s lessons mustn’t be forgotten. Appeasement only invites more aggression. JW twitter.com/yonhapnews/sta…

No beating around the bush in Minister Wu’s @LBC interview with @AndrewMarr9! One thing #Ukraine🇺🇦 has taught #Taiwan🇹🇼 & the world is that appeasement only invites aggression. Let’s not make the same mistake twice.

We're shocked by the attempted attack on @kishida230 at an election event & strongly condemn violence undermining a democratic process.

#China’s drills are wrecking the #TaiwanStrait status quo & destabilizing the #IndoPacific. Minister Wu talked with 6 top media outlets—@Bloomberg, @FoxNews, @NBCNews, @politico, @dcexaminer & @CNN—to detail #Taiwan’s🇹🇼 resolve to stand strong & unite with fellow democracies.

The firmness in standing with #Taiwan is much appreciated, Mr. Speaker. #China won’t stop us from welcoming friends, either. Freedom & democracy are our values & way of life; won’t be changed by #PRC coercions. JW twitter.com/SpeakerMcCarth…

The people of #Taiwan will never bow to #PRC bullying. It will only toughen our resolve to fight for our freedom & sovereignty. We will not stop making friends, & our friends will not stop supporting us. JW twitter.com/MoNDefense/sta…
