Dziękuję Polska, Tajwan i Polska to kraje doświadczające dyktatury i ucisku, i który z taką samą mocą pielęgnuje demokrację, wolność i prawa człowieka! Mieszkańcy obu krajów są równie odważni w stawianiu czoła zagrożeniom i równie hojni w swojej dobroci!
As Taiwan's 2nd offshore wind farm begins operation, we're 1 step closer toward achieving #NetZero. Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our times, we don't have one second to waste.
Delighted that the Foreign Affairs Committee overwhelmingly voted in favor of my recommendation on EU-Taiwan relations. Historic day as it’s the first time such a report has been adopted. Preparations for a #BIA need to commence ASAP!
台南一日遊 Thank-you Legislator Wang @MPWangTingyu and Mayor Huang for a great day in #Tainan! 謝謝 王定宇委員和黃偉哲市長 的安排! 拜會了 黃市長 積極加強雙方在文化與教育方面的交流,也和成功大學蘇慧珍校長 討論加台學術研發合作,參觀了奇美博物館,安平樹屋,更吃到了垂涎已久的周氏蝦捲!
I'm sure the people of Taiwan would love put Lithuanian food on their kitchen table! China's economic coercion tactics won't work if we can find ways to offset the potential losses from China's bullying.
🇦🇺🍷🤝🇹🇼🍍🤝🇱🇹
China has stepped up a nascent trade war with Lithuania whose government vowed to work with the US on developing ties with Taiwan.
This comes as the EU is still drawing up a mechanism that it hopes will deter economic coercion by non-EU countries.

When speaking with @GLandsbergis, I expressed our support for Lithuania on its regional challenges, decision to expand ties with Taiwan, and support for the pro-democracy movement in Belarus. The United States is proud to have Lithuania as one of our closest @NATO Allies.
We continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross Taiwan Strait relations consistent with the wishes and best interests of the people of Taiwan. We urge Beijing to cease its military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan & instead to engage in meaningful dialogue.
As @JakeSullivan46 rightly said, drawing comparisons btwn Afghanistan & Taiwan "is a fundamentally different question in a different context". What we need to focus on is continue to strengthen our asymmetric capabilities that will help us deter China effectively and efficiently.
Lithuanian🇱🇹 FM @GLandsbergis: Strong US🇺🇸 support expressed to LT🇱🇹 during my call with US @DeputySecState W. R. Sherman at the wake of migrants' crisis & PRC pressure. Lithuania🇱🇹 will continue promoting democracy and values based foreign policy jointly with our NATO Ally.
“United States is resolute in our solidarity with our NATO Ally and EU partner Lithuania, including standing with them in the face of the People’s Republic of China’s recent coercive behavior in response to Lithuania’s decision to develop mutually beneficial ties with Taiwan.”
Was a pleasure to discuss areas for U.S.-Japan-Taiwan collaboration such as the Global Cooperation and Training Framework with @Taiwan_in_Japan Frank Hsieh. Taiwan is a democratic role model, an important security and economic partner, and a force for good in the world.
Taiwan is a leading liberal democracy in Asia, now led by a female president, where same-sex marriage is legal.
Taiwan has a lot to offer when it comes to defending democracy and human rights.
Strengthening democracy at home and abroad is central to U.S. national security. President Biden will convene world leaders and work with our closest partners to launch new initiatives this December in a landmark Summit for Democracy. Read more: whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…
Democracies have to stick together and human rights must be front & centre when we deal with China. Taiwan joins Canada & other #FriendsPartnersAllies in condemning Beijing's unjust sentencing of Michael Spavor.
We stand with our Ally Lithuania and condemn the People's Republic of China's recent retaliatory actions recalling their ambassador in Vilnius and demanding Lithuania recall its ambassador in Beijing. The U.S. supports our European partners as they develop ties with Taiwan.
