與澳洲駐台大使 @JennyBloomfield 餐敘，暢談到幾乎趕不上高鐵，在區域安全、經貿合作上，台澳是關係緊密的好夥伴！

Before departing Turkey, Taiwan's rescue team decided to donate all of their equipments to AKUT Search and Rescue Association.

Today, on behalf of the Foreign Affairs & National Defense Cmte, I invited Taiwan Ambassador to the U.S. Bi-khim Hsiao to the LY for a bipartisan closed session where Amb. Hsiao shared the latest development in TW-US partnership & key priorities in 2023. We're lucky to have her!

#Türkiye'deki dostlarımız için dua edin ve #depremin neden olduğu hasarın mümkün olduğunca az olmasını temenni edin #Tayvan yardım sağlamak için elinden gelenin en iyisini yapmaya hazır!

為 #土耳其 的朋友們祈福，希望 #地震 帶來的傷害越小越好，#台灣 願意盡力提供協助！ Pray for our friends in #Turkey, and hope that the damage caused by the #earthquake will be as minor as possible. #Taiwan is willing to do the best to provide assistance!

I want to congratulate Premier Su on his extraordinary achievement during his 4-year tenure. As a former human rights lawyer, he understands what it took for Taiwan to become a democracy. Premier Su will go down in history as one of the most effective political leaders in Taiwan.

I met with former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger to talk about Taiwan-U.S. security partnership and how democratic countries can work together to deter China's increasingly provocative behaviour.

Xi's softened tone toward Taiwan in his new year's address is just part of his charm offensive when the PLA's actions don't match up with Xi's words.

Happy 2023! Happy New Year!
