立法院韓國瑜院長於本（10月6）日下午在國民黨徐巧芯委員、民進黨莊瑞雄委員及民眾黨洪毓祥委員等人陪同下，接見美國聯邦參議院情報委員會班奈特議員（Michael Bennet, D-CO）訪問團一行，美國在台協會台北辦事處（AIT/T）代理副處長羅峻平（Michael Pignatello）亦陪同出席。
On the afternoon of October 6, Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜) received a delegation led by U.S. Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO), a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. President Han was accompanied by KMT Legislator Hsu Chiao-Hsin, DPP Legislator Dr. Chuang Jui-Hsiung, TPP Legislator Dr. Hung Yu-Hsiang, and Acting Deputy Director Michael Pignatello of the Taipei Office of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT/T).
韓院長首先歡迎班奈特參議員來訪，並提及班奈特參議員於今年2月與跨黨派聯邦參眾議員聯名致函立法院及各政黨領袖，關心國防特別預算審議進度，以及今年5月川習會前夕與11位跨黨派參議員聯名致函盧比歐（Marco Rubio）國務卿重申對台海和平穩定的關切，顯示參議員高度重視台灣安全，就此表達誠摯感謝。
President Han began by welcoming Senator Bennet. He noted that, in February this year, Senator Bennet joined a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives in sending a letter to the Legislative Yuan and cross-party leaders expressing concern about the review progress of the special defense budget. He also noted that, ahead of the meeting between President Trump and President Xi in May this year, Senator Bennet joined 11 other senators from both parties in writing to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to reiterate their concern for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. President Han expressed his sincere gratitude for these efforts, which demonstrate the importance Senator Bennet attaches to Taiwan’s security.
院長繼表示台美經貿互動緊密，《美台快速減免雙重課稅法案》若能順利於參院通過，對台美雙邊投資產業合作至關重要，誠盼班奈特參議員協助推動法案通過。
President Han went on to highlight the close economic and trade ties between Taiwan and the U.S. He emphasized that passage of the United States-Taiwan Expedited Double-Tax Relief Act in the U.S. Senate would be crucial to bilateral investment and industrial cooperation, and expressed his sincere hope that Senator Bennet would help secure the bill’s passage.
韓院長強調，台灣土地僅佔世界萬分之三，人口僅千分之三，但卻能生產百分之三的工業產品，不僅有舉世矚目的台積電，更有實力堅強的百工百業；台灣非常需要國際友人的支持，期待與美國各界增加互動合作。院長最後祝福班奈特參議員此行順利，多品嚐台灣各地美食。
President Han emphasized that, although Taiwan accounts for only 0.03% of the world’s land area and 0.3% of its population, it produces 3% of the world’s industrial output. He noted that in addition to the globally renowned Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Taiwan boasts a broad range of highly competitive industries. He stressed that Taiwan greatly needs the support of its international friends and looks forward to expanding engagement and cooperation with partners across all sectors in the U.S. In closing, President Han wished Senator Bennet a successful visit and encouraged him to sample local cuisine from across Taiwan.
雙邊交流時，徐巧芯委員表示作為外交及國防委員會的成員，國防特別預算及《強化國防自主暨無人載具產業發展條例》的通過，彰顯立法院對於自我防衛的共識，美國是台灣重要的盟友，感謝班奈特議員長期支持台灣。
During bilateral discussions, Legislator Hsu mentioned that she was a member of the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee and that the passage of the special defense budget and the Act on Strengthening Defense Autonomy and Developing the Unmanned Vehicle Industry demonstrates the Legislative Yuan’s consensus on Taiwan’s self-defense. She expressed that the U.S. is a vital ally of Taiwan and thanked Senator Bennet for his long-standing support for Taiwan.
莊瑞雄委員表示立法院三黨在內政議題雖各有主張，但強化台灣自我防衛的立場一致。台灣在半導體、AI與無人機等產業是美國可信賴的合作夥伴，期盼美國國會能持續發揮跨黨派的力量，敦促行政部門落實對台灣的安全承諾。
Legislator Chuang stated that although the three parties in the Legislative Yuan hold differing views on domestic issues, they share a common commitment to strengthening Taiwan’s ability to defend itself. He noted that Taiwan is a reliable partner of the U.S. in industries such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), and drones. He expressed hope that the U.S. Congress would continue to leverage bipartisan support to urge the executive branch to fulfill its security commitments to Taiwan.
洪毓祥委員分享今年六月與院長同行赴美訪問並實地參訪台積電亞利桑那州廠，期盼美國聯邦與地方政府能就基礎建設、人才赴美簽證等事項予以協助，提升台灣企業赴美投資動能，深化雙邊科技產業合作。
Legislator Hung recalled accompanying President Han on a visit to the U.S. in June this year, which included a tour of TSMC’s Arizona facility. He expressed hope that the U.S. federal and local governments would provide assistance with infrastructure and visas for skilled personnel traveling to the U.S., helping to spur investment in the U.S. by Taiwanese companies and deepen bilateral cooperation in technology industries.
雙方隨後就深化台美關係、推動產業合作、全球地緣政治等議題廣泛交換意見。此次會晤歷約40分鐘，氣氛友好愉快，在雙方互贈紀念品後圓滿落幕。（2026/10/06）

The meeting lasted approximately 40 minutes and took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere. It concluded successfully with an exchange of commemorative gifts. (2026/10/06)
