Excellencies Ambassadors and Honorable Representatives;
黃偉哲, Mayor of Tainan City,
Distinguished guests;
Ladies and gentlemen:
Good evening!
(As prepared for Delivery)
I want to thank all of you for joining this trip. I hope you are enjoying this tour as much as I do so far. As you all know, every year MOFA organizes excursions for Ambassadors and Representatives. This June, many of you had spent time exploring authentic Hakka culture and the scenery of Hsinchu and Miaoli with me.
This time, we decided to organize something different than before. We want to give you an inside look at how Taiwan is developing smart industries by visiting some of the potential companies. So we chose 3 iconic companies to showcase the industrial development and market prospect.
Besides visiting the companies, in the afternoon tomorrow, you will be attending the “2020 Presidential Office Concert” which I believe will be relaxing and enjoyable. The music will be a combination of classical selections and Taiwanese local music. Unfortunately I need to leave for Taipei tonight so I won’t be joining you, but I believe that will be a perfect ending to this trip.
Last but not least, my colleagues and I want to thank you all again for coming to this trip. I would like to invite you to join a toast: to your health, happiness, and to our friendship!
Cheers! Salud! 謝謝!
