At 2:15 PM of September 6, Vice President Tsai, accompanied by Director Kevin C.F. Lin of the International Affairs Department, met with the new representative of Israel Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei to Taiwan, Maya Yaron. Representative Yaron first expressed her pleasure at meeting Vice President Tsai, mentioning that she assumed her post in Taiwan just three weeks ago. Later in the day, she was scheduled to meet with Legislator Chung Chia-pin, Chairperson of the Taiwan-Israel Parliamentary Friendship Association. She mentioned her prior service in the Northeast Asia Division of the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs before coming to Taiwan, where she was responsible for handling affairs related to Taiwan, South Korea, China, and Japan over the past three years. She highlighted the ongoing close contact with relevant departments in Taiwan and expressed the hope to continue deepening bilateral friendship and cooperation between Taiwan and Israel.
蔡副院長代表立法院誠摯歡迎游代表到訪，繼表示本（112）年係台以相互設館30週年，2月間曾會晤以色列前任駐台代表，就如何共慶台以交流30週年深入交換意見，包括規劃於台中洲際棒球場的職棒比賽開球儀式中辦理相關紀念活動，惜因故未能促成，盼未來能與以色列駐台代表處維持良性互動，以持續深化台以實質友好關係。游代表表示感謝，並請蔡副院長建議一個聯繫窗口以利續推動本案，蔡副院長復以，建議該代表處與外交部業務主管單位保持聯繫，本院將樂見其成。
Vice President Tsai, on behalf of the Legislative Yuan, warmly welcomed Representative Yaron's visit. He noted that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of reciprocal representative offices between Taiwan and Israel. In February, there was a meeting with the former Israeli representative to Taiwan to discuss how to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Taiwan-Israel exchanges. This included plans for commemorative activities during the opening ceremony of a professional baseball game at the Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, these plans did not materialize. Vice President Tsai expressed the hope for continued positive interaction with the Israel Economic and Cultural Office to deepen the substantive and friendly relationship between Taiwan and Israel. Representative Yaron expressed her gratitude and hoped Vice President Tsai can offer a contact point for further promotion of this initiative. Vice President Tsai suggested her to maintain contact with relevant units of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Legislative Yuan would be pleased to see progress in this regard.
游代表應詢說明，以色列駐台代表處為慶祝台以交流30週年，特別於本年1月至3月舉辦攝影展，展出台灣民眾所拍攝並獲選之與以色列有關的作品。另以色列國會議員訪問團於今年8月訪台，曾晉見蔡英文總統及會晤外交部吳部長，就共同關切議題進行交流，成果豐碩；而以色列國會中的以台國會議員聯誼會成員們都相當支持台灣。蔡副院長回應稱，台以兩國理念相近，在既有的密切合作基礎上深化交流，將可使雙邊關係更上層樓。游代表接謂，10月我國慶活動以後，將有一以色列智庫學者團來台參加由遠景基金會和國立政治大學合辦的台以關係30週年座談會。至於在運動及體育交流方面，她知道棒球運動在台灣相當受歡迎，希望未來雙方能持續推動相關交流與合作；也期盼有榮幸邀請蔡副院長出席以色列駐台代表處所主辦的相關活動。游代表另就明年元月台灣大選、雙邊經貿投資及科技合作等議題與蔡副院長廣泛交換意見，氣氛坦誠友好。
Representative Yaron explained that the Israel Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of bilateral exchanges, held a photography exhibition from January to March this year. The exhibition showcased works related to Israel by Taiwanese photographers. Additionally, an Israeli parliamentary delegation visited Taiwan in August, meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wu. The discussions on common concerns were fruitful. Members of the Israel-Taiwan Friendship Association in the Israeli parliament (Knesset) are also supportive of Taiwan. Vice President Tsai responded by stating that the similar values of Taiwan and Israel provide a foundation for deepening exchanges on top of existing close cooperation. Representative Yaron mentioned that after Taiwan's National Day celebrations in October, a delegation of Israeli think tank scholars will come to Taiwan to participate in a symposium on the 30th anniversary of Taiwan-Israel relations organized by the Prospect Foundation and National Chengchi University. Regarding sports and athletic exchanges, she expressed her knowledge of the popularity of baseball in Taiwan and hoped for continuous promotion of relevant exchanges and cooperation between the two sides. She also expressed the hope of inviting Vice President Tsai to attend events organized by the Israel Economic and Cultural Office. Representative Yaron further discussed various topics, including the upcoming January elections in Taiwan, bilateral economic and trade investment, and technological cooperation.
最後蔡副院長與游代表互贈禮品並合影留念，會晤歷約半小時，圓滿結束。
Finally, Vice President Tsai and Representative Yaron exchanged gifts and took a commemorative photo, concluding the meeting after about half an hour.
