外交部誠摯感謝拜登總統及美國政府再度明確重申對台灣的安全承諾。

台灣位於 #民主陣營對抗專制政權的第一線，堅持民主自由價值，且對於國際社會的安全與繁榮，扮演不可或缺的角色。我國政府 #將持續提升自我防衛能力，捍衛台灣人民得來不易的民主與自由，並與美國及其他理念相近國家深化合作，共同促進台海及印太區域的和平、穩定及繁榮。

美國總統拜登於美東時間8/18接受美國廣播公司（ABC）新聞網專訪強調，#台灣與阿富汗問題本質不同，#美國信守對夥伴的承諾。

美國國務院發言人普萊斯8/19在例行記者會上指出，美國持續支持以符合台灣人民意願與最佳利益的方式，和平解決兩岸關係；#台海和平與安全是美國持久利益，對印太區域整體的安全穩定十分重要，不受阿富汗或其他情勢影響。

MOFA welcomes the assurances from both US President Joe Biden, during his interview with ABC, and State Department Spokesperson Ned Price during a press briefing, on the US commitment to Taiwan.

Taiwan plays an indispensable role in the collective security and prosperity of the international community and will continue to upgrade our defensive capabilities to maintain the hard-won freedoms and democratic institutions of the Taiwanese people. We will continue to work with #LikeMinded partners like the US to ensure the peace, stability and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region.

In the course of the interview, President Biden stated that there was a fundamental difference between Afghanistan and Taiwan and that the #US will honor its sacred commitment to its partners, including Taiwan.

Price responded to a question on comparisons made by third parties between the situation of Taiwan and Afghanistan, stating that the US continues to support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait relations consistent with the wishes and best interests of the Taiwan people. He added that the US has an abiding interest in peace and security across the Taiwan Strait central to the security and stability of the broader Indo-Pacific.

【台灣會繼續堅持民主與自由】

最近不只我們台灣，就連一些外國友人的耳朵都有點癢，似乎是某國又在狼嚎。

聽清楚囉，我們再說一次：

中華民國台灣不僅是 #主權獨立國家，更是先進的 #民主政體 及 ＃良善的力量，在國際社會上與其他民主自由的國家友好互動，正當且自然，#他國政府無權置喙。

自由民主不是「充滿意識形態的偏見」，更不是「政治鬧劇」，是人類社會經過長久時間理解到的最佳生活方式，我們知道有些政府不懂，但請不要剝奪自己人民享有自由民主的權利。

未來，台灣仍會持續堅持民主與自由的道路，守護人權與法治的價值，為國際社會提供正面的貢獻。

#Taiwan is a sovereign, independent country, as well as a democracy and a force for good in the world. It is reasonable and natural that Taiwan has friendly interactions with like-minded countries in the international community, in which third parties have no business interfering.

Freedom and democracy are not "ideological prejudices", nor do they constitute a "political farce", they are the hard-won result of trying to understand the best way to live. Although some governments may not have gotten to grips with this yet, this does not give them license to strip away rights and freedoms.

Taiwan will continue on the path of #democracy and #freedom to make a positive contribution in the international community, while safeguarding #HumanRights and respect for the rule of law.

【外交部 Dr. Wu 中興大學開課啦👨‍🏫】

#外交部 吳部長3月26日應 國立中興大學法政學院邀請，參與10周年系列演講「法政論壇」，以 #台美關係與外交工作經驗談 為題，向校內師生演講。

吳部長金句不斷，就讓我們一同來看看吧❗️

📗外交策略：廣交朋友

吳部長提到，台灣外交的挑戰，尤其是軍事威脅、外交空間的壓縮、國內穩定安全的考量，最大的挑戰還是來自對岸，因此外交工作最重要的目標，就是結交更多的好朋友，透過結合 #友邦 及 #理念相近 的國家，與 #美國🇺🇸 #日本🇯🇵 #歐盟🇪🇺 #澳洲🇦🇺 #紐西蘭🇳🇿，以及 #加拿大🇨🇦等國家，積極努力，開拓國家間信賴關係。

📗互信基礎，得來不易

經過4-5年的努力，可以看到我國與美國、歐洲國家關係有著長足的進展，但是這樣的互信基礎，得來不易，也因為如此，我們與國際政要高層的對話，不應拿來媒體炒作，要真正談出成果時，讓民眾知道外交部真的讚👊。

📗台美合作，日益密切

台灣與美國近年來透過 #台美教育合作倡議 建立的華語教育的溝通平台，所以我們與哈佛大學簽約，並且邀請政界人士來台學習華語，另外透過 #台美經濟繁榮夥伴對話 深化經濟合作關係，以及 #全球合作暨訓練架構 (GCTF)使得台灣成為國際間 #非傳統安全 重要的核心。

📗爭取瞭解，獲得支持

沒有一個國家有義務支持台灣，我們必須主動積極去說服國際社會，台灣是可以信任的好夥伴，以及台灣對國際社會是正面的貢獻。並且要讓國際社會瞭解台灣身處對抗 #威權主義 擴張的第一線，要是失去台灣，就是失去重要的民主堡壘。

📌美國拜登總統上任之前，美國這樣稱呼我們
🔸Democratic success story 民主成功的故事
🔸A reliable partner 一個可信賴的夥伴
🔸A force for good in the world 世界良善的力量

📌拜登政府上任後，美國這樣形容我們
🔸A leading democracy 民主的領頭羊
🔸A critical economic and security partner 關鍵經濟和安全夥伴

除了外交部的努力，也需要台灣社會共同認知，才有今天的成果，也鼓勵參與演講的同學們，未來加入外交部的行列！

#部長說跟外館時差關係外交部常常加班
#加班啦哪次不加班

MOFA’s Dr Joseph Wu was in session yesterday, giving a talk on his experiences of diplomatic efforts in the #Taiwan-#US relationship on invitation from National Chung Hsing University in a series of lectures held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the university’s College of Law and Politics. We’ve summarized some of the highlights for you below!

🔹Diplomatic Strategies: Make a lot of friends.

The biggest challenges for Taiwan in its diplomacy, according to Minister Wu, are those brought by the cross-strait issue, specifically the military threat to Taiwan, the attempt to shut down Taiwan’s opportunities for international diplomacy, and domestic security concerns. For this reason, one of the biggest objectives of Taiwan’s diplomatic strategy has been to make a broad range of good friends, building trust with diplomatic allies and like-minded countries and regions, such as the US, Japan, the EU, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

🔹Building hard-won trust:

After 4-5 years of effort, we’ve seen significant progress in our relationship with the US and European countries, but this foundation of trust was hard won, and because of this, our discussions with top-ranking foreign leaders should not be taken as media fodder so that real results can be derived from these discussions. That way, the public can be reassured that the ministry is doing its job well.

🔹Ever-closer ties in Taiwan-US cooperation:

Through the Taiwan-US Education Initiative we’ve established a communication mechanism for Mandarin education programs, signed an agreement with Harvard University, and invited many figures from the political world to study Mandarin in Taiwan. Through the Taiwan-US Economic Prosperity Partnership Dialogue, we’ve also strengthened our economic cooperation, and the Global Cooperation and Training Framework has transformed Taiwan into a hub for the management of non-traditional security issues.

🔹Seeking understanding and gathering support:

No country has a duty to help Taiwan, so we must be proactive in convincing the international community that Taiwan is a trustworthy partner and that it has a positive contribution to make within this international community.
We must also get the international community to understand that Taiwan is on the front line in the fight against authoritarian expansionism, and that if Taiwan is lost, an important #BeaconOfDemocracy is lost with it.

Before US President Joe Biden took office, the US referred to Taiwan as a “democratic success story”, “a reliable partner” and “a force for good in the world.”

Since President Biden took office, the US has referred to Taiwan as “a leading democracy” and “a critical economic and security partner.”

In closing, Minister Wu stated that the successes achieved are not solely a result of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ efforts, but also of a common belief held by society in Taiwan, and he encouraged the students at the talk to join the ministry’s ranks in the future.
