Special operation force is a critical component of Taiwan's asymmetric defense. Today I visited Special Operation Center to learn more about its training, equipment and counter UAV capability. #SOF
I applaud President Tsai @iingwen's decision to extend the conscription to 1 year. I'm thrilled to learn that under the new plan conscripts will be trained on how to use advanced asymmetric weapons, such as man-portable missiles and UAVs.
Legislator Lin Ching-Yi (@minorta) and I had a productive dinner with the @CommonsForeign delegation led by @aliciakearns. Our conversation covered the critical role the UK plays in int'l security and how Taiwan and the UK can build our defence & security relations. 🇹🇼🇬🇧
Taking all three voting treasures - ID card, seal, and voting notice, and going out to vote. There are total of 4 votes in Tainan city- Mayor, City Councilor, District Chief, 18-year-old Citizenship Amendment Review.
Let’s enjoy the rights as a citizen of a democratic country.
For the 1st time in our nation's history, Taiwan has democratically initiated a constitutional amendment case. In 20 days, we have a chance to lower the voting to 18, but it will take record voter turnout - 9.65 million votes. Let's make this happen! #Vote
I was delighted to welcome @ZygisPavilionis at LY. We had a productive discussion regarding our shared vales and interests. I'm proud to have friends like you helping us to fight together against external threats and #autocracy. Here's to our enduring friendship!
Met with Leader of Golos @kiraincongress. All democratic partners must work together to back #Ukraine 🇺🇦. #Ukraine 🇺🇦 can depend on #Taiwan 🇹🇼 for support and we believe that freedom and democracy will prevail in #Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Today marks the 1000 days since Taiwan stood up the Central Epidemic Command Centre. As we reopen our boarders and welcome international visitors, let’s take a moment to thank everyone who has been with us throughout this fight.
