On the afternoon of September 24, Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜), accompanied by KMT Legislator Adm. Chen Yeong-Kang and DPP Legislator Ngalim Tiunn, received an Australian parliamentary delegation led by Senate Deputy President Slade Brockman. Also in attendance were Secretary General Daniel Kuo-Ching Chen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Acting Representative Daniel Stuart of the Australian Office in Taipei.
韓院長首先誠摯歡迎柏克曼副議長率團訪台，並逐一介紹今日出席的跨黨派委員。韓院長向訪團說明台澳國會的差異以及我國立法院的運作模式，並指出立法院由113名立法委員組成，肩負審議國家預算及制定法律案之重責大任。
President Han began by extending a warm welcome to Deputy President Brockman and his delegation, introducing the legislators from across party lines who were present at the meeting. He outlined the differences between the parliamentary systems of Taiwan and Australia and explained how the Legislative Yuan operates. He noted that the Legislative Yuan comprises 113 legislators and is entrusted with the important responsibilities of reviewing the national budget and enacting legislation.
韓院長進一步感謝澳洲國會議員對台灣的堅定支持，特別提及澳洲總理艾伯尼斯（Anthony Albanese）近期於太平洋島國論壇高峰會（Pacific Islands Forum）期間針對台灣參與議題的發言。韓院長感性表示，面對國際環境的挑戰，來自世界各國的溫暖友誼對台灣而言至關重要。
President Han went on to express his gratitude to Australian parliamentarians for their steadfast support for Taiwan, particularly highlighting recent remarks by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese concerning Taiwan’s participation in the Pacific Islands Forum during its summit. President Han emphasized that, amid the challenges of the international environment, the warmth and friendship extended to Taiwan by countries around the world are especially meaningful.
韓院長說明，台灣在地理版圖上雖然渺小，但對全球的貢獻卻十分巨大。無論在晶圓代工、半導體以及人工智慧（AI）產業等領域，台灣皆處於全球領先地位；此外，台灣亦擁有諸多「隱形冠軍」，舉凡紡織、醫療、化工、廚具、自行車及民生用品等領域皆有傑出表現，展現強大的產業競爭力。韓院長強調，台灣最難能可貴的莫過於成熟的民主制度與人民的熱情，期盼訪團能藉此次行程充分體驗並認識台灣。
President Han noted that although Taiwan is geographically small, its contributions to the world are immense, highlighting that Taiwan holds a leading position globally in semiconductor foundry services, the semiconductor industry, and artificial intelligence. He also remarked that Taiwan is home to numerous “hidden champions” that excel in industries ranging from textiles, medical products, and chemicals to kitchenware, bicycles, and everyday consumer goods, demonstrating the strength and competitiveness of Taiwan’s industrial sector. President Han stressed that Taiwan’s most valuable assets are its mature democracy and the warmth of its people. He expressed hope that the delegation would take full advantage of its visit to experience and gain a deeper understanding of Taiwan.
柏克曼副議長感謝韓院長的盛情接待，並表示此行為他第二度訪台，宛如回到熟悉的地方探望老朋友。副議長隨後介紹同行委員，強調訪團成員涵蓋跨黨派參眾議員，足以代表澳洲國會的多元聲音。他指出，澳洲是台灣留學生海外求學的第二熱門選擇，兩國在經貿發展上亦高度互補，期盼未來能就能源、高科技、食品及關鍵礦產等領域，持續深化雙邊合作關係。
Deputy President Brockman thanked President Han for his warm hospitality, noting that this was his second visit to Taiwan and that returning felt like visiting old friends in a familiar place. He then introduced the members of his delegation, emphasizing that the group included senators and members of the House of Representatives from across party lines, reflecting the diverse voices of the Australian Parliament. He noted that Australia is the second most popular overseas study destination for Taiwanese students and that the economies of Taiwan and Australia are highly complementary. He expressed hope that the two sides would continue to deepen bilateral cooperation in areas including energy, high technology, food, and critical minerals.
雙邊交流時，陳永康委員對於澳洲跨黨派國會議員的到訪表達熱烈歡迎，並強調台澳可持續於政治與經濟領域上合作；陳委員也指出澳洲為台灣重要的教育夥伴，期盼雙方未來能有更緊密的學術與人才交流。
During the exchange, Legislator Chen warmly welcomed the cross-party Australian parliamentary delegation and emphasized the potential for continued political and economic cooperation between Taiwan and Australia. He also noted that Australia is an important educational partner for Taiwan and expressed hope for closer academic and talent exchanges in the future.
張雅琳委員特別與訪團分享本年度赴澳洲考察禁止未成年使用社群媒體相關政策之經驗。同時，她也特別感謝澳洲國會議員屢次於國際場合為台灣發聲，有助於提升台灣的國際參與及國際能見度。
Legislator Tiunn shared her experience visiting Australia earlier this year to study its policies restricting social media use by minors. She also expressed particular appreciation to Australian parliamentarians for repeatedly speaking up for Taiwan in international forums, helping to strengthen Taiwan’s international participation and visibility.
