37 years ago, brave young souls rose up in Tiananmen Square. Today, their legacy reminds us: a truly great nation has the courage to face its history, embrace different voices, and protect the inalienable right to dream. Taiwan will always stand with those striving for freedom.

对于中国山西发生重大矿灾造成重大伤亡，我们感到十分痛心。我要向不幸罹难者致以深切哀悼，并向伤者及家属表达诚挚慰问。面对重大灾情，台湾愿在必要时提供人道协助，同时期盼受困人员能早日获救，并祈愿逝者安息。

Just had a productive meeting with @UKinTaiwan Rep Ruth Bradley-Jones about the growing cooperation between Taiwan & the UK. Exchanged bear souvenirs with a nice message of the day from her: May the UK force be with you. #May4 #StarWars 💪

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.

His Majesty King Mswati III today warmly received H.E. President @ChingteLai of the Republic of China (Taiwan) at Mandvulo Grand Hall. President Lai's visit reaffirms the longstanding friendship and strong diplomatic ties that exist between Eswatini and Taiwan.

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.

I thank IPAC & many friends who have supported Taiwan's freedom to engage with other members of the international community. We need to reject China's expanding toolbox of coercion aimed at suppressing & isolating Taiwan.

It is not for Beijing to determine the foreign policy of other countries. 各國有權自主決定外交方針，北京無權置喙。 IPAC stands with President Lai and the people of Taiwan. IPAC 堅定支持賴總統與台灣人民。

Though Dr. Lindgren is the first Taiwan born astronaut, I am sure there will be many more to come. Look forward to his tour here talking to students & public, inspiring the next generation of scientists & space enthusiasts.

So honored to welcome astronaut Dr. Kjiell Lindgren. Born in Taiwan and raised in UK, he has conducted a number of missions to space, totalling 311 days. The photo he took of Taiwan from ISS is most unique and beautiful, to be cherished. 1/2

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
