China has long engaged in expansionism in the name of law enforcement, disrupting peace across the East China Sea, South China Sea & Taiwan Strait. Today, our Whole-of-Society Defense Resilience Committee held a tabletop exercise on countering maritime gray-zone coercion.
Sanibonani! I arrived in #Eswatini today to affirm our longstanding friendship. #Taiwan will never be deterred by external pressures. Our resolve & commitment are underpinned by the understanding that Taiwan will continue to engage with the world—no matter the challenges faced.
Great to spend a morning walking in the mountains with American Institute in Taiwan Director Raymond Greene. Over the years, #Taiwan & the #US have nurtured a successful partnership as enduring & expansive as the mountains we hiked.
An honour to speak at the inaugural Berlin Freedom Conference. At this time of global uncertainty, with rising authoritarian threats, it is crucial that democracies & their supporters come together to defend our hard-earned freedom. In this effort, #Taiwan has much to contribute.
Happy Moon Festival to all those celebrating in Taiwan & around the world. I hope you enjoy a holiday filled with family, friends, & togetherness.
Taiwan’s Hualien County has experienced serious flooding in the wake of Typhoon Ragasa. To date, 15 people have lost their lives & many are still missing.
I’m deeply grateful to all involved in rescue & recovery. To support these efforts @MOHW_Taiwan has set up a donation fund⬇️
