立法院韓國瑜院長於本(10月8)日下午在國民黨陳永康委員、民進黨莊瑞雄委員、民眾黨洪毓祥委員等人陪同下,接見美國聯邦眾議院預算委員會民主黨首席議員博伊爾(Brendan Boyle, D-PA)訪問團一行,外交部北美司邴兆魯參事亦陪同出席。
On the afternoon of October 8, Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜), accompanied by KMT Legislator Adm. Chen Yeong-Kang, DPP Legislator Dr. Chuang Jui-Hsiung, and TPP Legislator Dr. Hung Yu-Hsiang, received a delegation led by U.S. Representative Brendan Boyle (D-PA), Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee. Counselor Bryan Chao-Lu Bing of the Department of North American Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also attended the meeting.
韓院長首先表示三位眾議員皆為首次訪台,對於能夠接待訪團深感榮幸。韓院長繼向訪團說明我立法院採行單一國會制,與美國國會兩院制有所不同;立法院由113名立法委員組成,肩負審議國家重大法案及預算之重責大任,三個政黨雖在各項議題上時有不同立場甚至激烈辯論,但一致支持外交工作,誠摯歡迎美國國會好朋友來訪。
President Han first noted that all three representatives were visiting Taiwan for the first time and expressed his honor to welcome the delegation. He then explained that Taiwan has a unicameral legislature, unlike the bicameral U.S. Congress. President Han said that the Legislative Yuan comprises 113 legislators and bears the important responsibility of reviewing major national legislation and budgets. He added that although the three political parties may hold differing positions and engage in heated debates on various issues, they share a common commitment to diplomacy and warmly welcome our good friends from the U.S. Congress.
韓院長續表示,台灣除了高科技產業享譽國際,也有強盛的百工百業,盼台美加強相關合作與交流。適逢我國國慶將至,院長特別介紹今年國慶活動主視覺以晶片元素融入設計,彰顯台灣在全球半導體產業的重要地位。院長最後強調,對國會議員而言,國家安全至關重要,台灣除了致力提升自我防衛,亦誠摯感謝美國長期以來對台灣及台海和平的堅定支持。
President Han went on to note that, in addition to its internationally renowned high-tech industries, Taiwan has a strong and diverse industrial base. He expressed hope that Taiwan and the U.S. would strengthen cooperation and exchanges in relevant areas. With Taiwan’s National Day approaching, President Han highlighted that this year’s National Day visual design incorporates chip elements, underscoring Taiwan’s important role in the global semiconductor industry. He concluded by emphasizing that national security is of paramount importance to legislators, adding that while Taiwan is committed to strengthening its self-defense capabilities, it remains sincerely grateful for longstanding, steadfast U.S. support for Taiwan as well as peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
雙邊交流時,三位委員均感謝美國國會對台灣的關注與支持,以及持續協助台灣強化防衛能力。陳永康委員表示身為立法院外交及國防委員會成員,深知台美共享自由與民主等核心價值的重要性。莊瑞雄委員則期盼未來台美持續深化外交、國防、科技及經貿等各領域的交流。洪毓祥委員強調台美雙邊關係不僅涵蓋國防合作,亦延伸至科技及產業供應鏈等多元領域,期盼持續深化夥伴關係。
During the bilateral exchange, all three legislators thanked the U.S. Congress for its attention and support for Taiwan, as well as its continued assistance in strengthening Taiwan’s defense capabilities. Legislator Chen noted that, as a member of the Legislative Yuan’s Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee, he recognized the importance of the core values of freedom and democracy shared by Taiwan and the U.S. Legislator Chuang expressed hope that Taiwan and the U.S. would continue to deepen exchanges in diplomacy, national defense, technology, economic affairs, and trade. Legislator Hung emphasized that Taiwan-U.S. relations extend beyond national defense cooperation to include various areas such as technology and industrial supply chains, and expressed hope for further strengthening the partnership.
