I was briefed on the #Taiwan Industrial Innovation Park & strategic oil reserve facility— important flagship projects in #Eswatini. Our joint efforts will contribute to energy security & industrial capabilities, paving the way for further cooperation and shared prosperity.

Upon arriving in #Eswatini, we began a full program of engagements, including a bilateral meeting with His Majesty King Mswati III & the signing of a joint communiqué. From cultivating crops to enhanced trade, our cooperation continues to highlight #Taiwan's global contributions.

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.

很高興與平將明眾議員、木原誠二眾議員及西野太亮眾議員見面，針對台日數位產業等議題交換意見。去年，台灣與日本簽署了「台日數位貿易協議」，為雙邊合作奠定了重要里程碑。期盼雙方能夠持續在不同關鍵領域持續密切交流，進一步提升彼此的經濟韌性，為區域繁榮做出更多貢獻。

衆議院の平将明議員@TAIRAMASAAKI、木原誠二議員@kihara_seiji、西野太亮議員@nishino_daisukeとデジタル産業等につき意見交換しました。昨年台湾と日本はデジタル貿易協定に署名して協力基盤を築きました。今後も各分野で緊密に交流し、経済的強靭性を高め合い、地域の繁栄に貢献していきましょう。

Today, our Climate Change Committee set forth a national tree-planting initiative. We're also safeguarding water resources through coordinated watershed management. Step by step, we're building a more resilient & sustainable #Taiwan.

A very warm welcome to Deputy PM Thulisile Dladla to #Taiwan as special envoy of His Majesty King Mswati III. Though my visit to #Eswatini was postponed due to external pressure, our partnership remains strong & we continue to advance cooperation across all fronts.

Shocked and gravely concerned to hear about the gunshots fired at the White House Correspondents’ Gala. We are relieved to hear that President Trump and other attendees remain safe from physical harm and we strongly condemn any form of political violence.

On King Mswati III’s Ruby Jubilee & 58th birthday, we celebrate steadfast #Taiwan-#Eswatini ties. We deeply appreciate Eswatini’s staunch support for Taiwan’s international participation. Our partnership remains resilient, standing strong against any external interference.

No amount of threats or coercion will shake Taiwan’s resolve to engage with the world or diminish our contributions to the global community. Our determination to build friendships around the world with like-minded partners remains steadfast despite external pressure. 2/2

China’s coercive actions undermine the status quo, once again exposing the risks authoritarian regimes pose to the international order. Ahead of my visit to Eswatini, several countries along our flight route abruptly revoked overflight clearance under pressure from China. 1/2

Warmest greetings to friends from @CSIS led by President John Hamre. We deeply value their work on issues crucial for regional stability. Committed to peace through strength, #Taiwan will continue investments in its defense capabilities alongside close cooperation with the US.

針對日本青森縣稍早發生的強烈地震，我謹代表台灣人民致上誠摯的慰問。台灣與日本人民同在，我們期盼當地民眾平安無恙，並隨時準備提供必要的協助。

日本の青森県でこのほど強い地震が発生したことにつき、台湾の人々を代表して心よりお見舞い申し上げます。台湾は日本の皆さまと共にあり、現地の皆さまのご無事を心よりお祈り申し上げます。私たちはいつでも、必要に応じて支援を行う用意があります。

Today marks 47 years of the Taiwan Relations Act, which has long served as a cornerstone for #Taiwan-#US relations. I'm confident that our enduring partnership—spanning across security, trade, technology & more—will continue to spur innovation & help safeguard regional peace.

A warm welcome to Sen. @Jim_Banks to Taiwan. We’re grateful for his longstanding support, including legislative efforts to deepen #Taiwan-#US security cooperation. We look forward to continuing our work with like-minded partners for a safer, more prosperous future.

500k+ followers and counting! Thank you for being part of this journey–we sincerely appreciate your support for #Taiwan’s democracy & will continue sharing our story with the world.

Pleased to meet with the @RepublicanStudy delegation led by National Security Task Force Chair @ZachNunn & thank the #US Congress for its staunch support. Pursuing peace through strength, #Taiwan will continue to enhance its self-defense & contribute to regional security.

Wishing all children across #Taiwan & around the world a joyful #ChildrensDay. Our government remains committed to building a society where children are supported, cared for, and given every opportunity to pursue their dreams.
