President Lai Ching-te of Taiwan, often known by his Western name William Lai, delivered his inaugural address on Monday morning.
“In February this year, a new Legislative Yuan was sworn in. This is the first time in 16 years that no party has an absolute majority. In the face of this new political landscape, some are feeling anticipation, while others are anxious,” he acknowledged. Lai used his inaugural speech to stress Taiwan’s importance as a force for democracy, peace, and human rights, especially in a world rocked by conflicts such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israeli self-defense operation in Gaza – and a world in which communist China is increasingly belligerent toward Taiwan.
Therefore, I hope that China will face the reality of the Republic of China’s existence, respect the choices of the people of Taiwan, and in good faith, choose dialogue over confrontation, exchange over containment, and under the principles of parity and dignity, engage in cooperation with the legal government chosen by Taiwan’s people. This can start from the resumption of tourism on a reciprocal basis, and enrollment of degree students in Taiwanese institutions.
“Taiwan has an influence on global economic development, as well as humanity’s well-being and prosperity,” he observed.
