立法院韓國瑜院長於本(10月21)日晚間在僑務委員會李姸慧代理委員長、賴麗瑩副委員長等人陪同下，主持在台北圓山大飯店舉辦的115年僑務委員會議「立法院院長晚宴」。
On the evening of October 21, Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜) hosted the Legislative Yuan President’s Banquet for the 2026 Council Meeting of the Overseas Community Affairs Council (OCAC) at the Grand Hotel in Taipei. He was accompanied by OCAC Acting Minister Lee Yen-Hui and Vice Minister Lai Li-Ying, among others.
韓院長在李代理委員長的引言後致詞表示，很榮幸今晚能與各位齊聚一堂，共同參與115年僑務委員會議立法院院長晚宴。院長首先提及，早年許多僑胞皆是提著一只皮箱、手持單程機票，飄洋過海至異國他鄉扎根。院長以《天下雜誌》共同創辦人高希均當年運用父親退休金購買單程機票出國為例，強調每一位僑胞背後皆有一段動人故事；對於大家在海外奮鬥卻始終心向台灣，他表達最深的感佩。
Following Acting Minister Lee’s introductory remarks, President Han said he was honored to join everyone that evening for the Legislative Yuan President’s Banquet for the 2026 OCAC Council Meeting. President Han began his remarks by recalling that, in earlier years, many overseas compatriots had crossed the ocean to put down roots in foreign lands with nothing more than a suitcase and a one-way ticket. He cited the example of Charles Kao (高希均), a co-founder of CommonWealth magazine, who used his father’s retirement funds to buy a one-way ticket abroad, emphasizing that every overseas compatriot has a moving personal story. He expressed his deepest admiration for their perseverance abroad and enduring devotion to Taiwan.
韓院長進一步強調三大重點僑務工作，期許大家共同努力：第一，持續推動海外華語文教育，期盼僑胞繼續傳承中文學習；第二，不分黨派主動聯繫，維繫僑胞與故鄉的深厚情感；第三，推動僑務預算，結合僑胞力量共同支持台灣。院長特別提及透過多國僑胞網絡互助，協助營救受困詐騙園區國人的經驗，證明僑胞朋友是台灣人在世界各地互相照應的重要安全網。
President Han further highlighted three priorities in overseas community affairs and called for everyone to work together to advance them. First, continue promoting Mandarin language education overseas, encouraging overseas compatriots to keep Chinese language learning alive across generations; second, proactively maintain contact regardless of political affiliation, preserving the deep ties between overseas compatriots and their homeland; and third, advocate for funding for overseas community affairs and bring together the strength of overseas compatriots in support of Taiwan. President Han specifically recalled how networks of overseas compatriots across several countries had worked together to help rescue Taiwanese nationals trapped in scam compounds. This experience demonstrated that overseas compatriots form a vital safety net through which Taiwanese people around the world look out for one another.
韓院長感謝僑胞的付出，他指出大家在海外打拚、建立人脈，在厚植自身實力的同時，也厚植了台灣的實力。院長代表113位立法委員向僑胞致上最高敬意，期盼大家常回娘家多來多往。最後，院長呼籲在座所有僑胞攜手推動僑務工作，希望大家以台灣為榮，並祝福大家身體健康、平安美好。
President Han thanked overseas compatriots for their contributions, pointing out that by working hard and building networks abroad, they strengthen not only their own capabilities but also Taiwan’s. On behalf of all 113 legislators, President Han expressed his utmost respect for overseas compatriots and encouraged them to return to Taiwan often and maintain close ties. Finally, President Han called on all overseas compatriots present to work together to advance overseas community affairs and encouraged them to take pride in Taiwan. He closed by wishing everyone good health, peace, and happiness.
僑務委員代表汪蔚興致詞時感謝韓院長在百忙中撥冗款宴與會僑胞，對海外僑務展現高度重視。他強調，全體返台僑胞將竭盡所能，為政府提供海外第一線的觀察心得，以及對未來僑務工作的具體建言。他指出，台灣目前正穩居全球人工智慧與科技轉型浪潮的核心。除了具備關鍵的晶片供應鏈優勢外，台灣在多變的地緣政治中堅守並展現出的民主韌性，更令世界各國讚嘆。汪代表提及，近年來立法院積極推動的國會外交，與世界各國國會、智庫等建立深厚的情誼，這不僅為台灣打開了更廣闊的國際空間，也是海外僑胞在國際社會中驕傲的底蘊。
In his remarks, OCAC Representative Wilson Wang thanked President Han for taking time out of his busy schedule to host the banquet for the attending overseas compatriots, demonstrating the great importance he attaches to overseas community affairs. He emphasized that all the overseas compatriots who had returned to Taiwan would do their utmost to provide the government with observations and insights drawn from their first-hand experiences overseas, along with specific recommendations for future work in overseas community affairs. He noted that Taiwan is firmly positioned at the heart of the global wave of artificial intelligence and technological transformation, and added that beyond its crucial advantages in the chip supply chain, Taiwan has earned even greater admiration from countries around the world for sustaining and demonstrating its democratic resilience amid shifting geopolitical circumstances. Representative Wang noted that, in recent years, the Legislative Yuan’s active pursuit of parliamentary diplomacy has forged close ties with parliaments, think tanks, and other institutions around the world. He emphasized that these efforts have expanded Taiwan’s international presence while giving overseas compatriots a solid sense of pride in Taiwan within the global community.
晚宴在汪僑務委員代表致贈韓院長紀念品後旋即展開，氣氛溫馨熱絡，韓院長並逐桌向與會僑務委員致意，歷約2小時後，在愉快的氣氛中圓滿結束。(2026/10/21)
