賴清德Lai Ching-te

Glad to welcome FM @min_abdirahman & the #Somaliland delegation to #Taiwan. With today’s coast guard agreement & expansion into areas like maritime security & blue economy, our nations are writing a new chapter in our partnership & showing resilience of democratic alliances.

A warm welcome to the cross-party parliamentary delegation led by @JMcGuinnessTD, a longtime friend of #Taiwan who has helped our partnership with #Ireland grow. Looking forward to taking cooperation to higher levels in technology, education & more.

Great to sit down with Chair @NathalieLoiseau & members of the @europarl Democracy Shield 🛡️ committee. By sharing what works in cybersecurity, media literacy, & societal resilience, #Taiwan & #Europe can thwart novel, hybrid threats to our shared values & freedom.

Extending deepest condolences to all mourning the loss of Dr. Ed Feulner. Ed was an inspiring leader and a dear friend of Taiwan; we will always remember his steadfast support for the Taiwan–US partnership, as a lifelong champion of freedom. May he rest in peace.

Great to meet young trailblazers from #Eswatini, the #MarshallIslands, #Palau, & #Tuvalu joining the Global Pathfinders Initiative, in #Taiwan to explore, innovate, & pursue their dreams. I’m sure your journeys will create lasting bonds, deepening our diplomatic partnerships.

While authoritarian regimes exercise aggression, democracies practice civil preparedness to defend peace. Today's Urban Resilience drills featured unscripted, realistic scenarios & expanded civil participation, because a better prepared #Taiwan is a safer & more resilient Taiwan.

My sincere gratitude to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex for offering prayers and directing aid to those affected by Typhoon Danas. As our repair and engineering crews work tirelessly to rebuild, Taiwan is immensely grateful for the support.

On the ground today to observe the ongoing #HanKuang exercises. To strengthen #Taiwan's defenses against amphibious landings, our troops are utilizing the latest technologies & weapons systems in tight coordination — boosting deterrence with increased agility & mobility.

In today’s #HanKuang exercises, I observed our naval mine-laying drills, made swift & effective by our 4 indigenous minelayers & advanced automated systems. Grateful to our service members for showcasing how #Taiwan uses asymmetric capabilities to defend democracy.

I extend sincere condolences to all affected by the severe flash floods in Texas. Our hearts are with the victims, their families, and all involved in the search and rescue efforts. Stay safe and strong.
