        成立大會首先由發起人葛如鈞委員致開場詞，繼由國民黨傅崐萁總召致詞後，由張裕榮副秘書長代表本院致詞。副秘書長表示，非常榮幸代表韓院長參加本院「中華民國與阿拉伯聯合大公國國會議員友好聯誼會」及「先進科技交流協會」的成立大會，渠指出，阿拉伯聯合大公國與我國雖無邦交，但皆重視科技發展，阿拉伯聯合大公國於2019年設立全球第一所專門研究AI的學校，此外阿國的「先進技術研究委員會」(Advanced Technology Research Council, ATRC)近期宣布一項5億美元的投資計畫，用以加速AI及新興科技之研發。

      The inauguration ceremony commenced under the addresses from Convener Ko and KMT Caucus Convener Fu Kun-chi, followed by a remark by Deputy Secretary-General Chang on behalf of the Legislative Yuan. Chang expressed that it was an honor to attend the grand event on behalf of President Daniel K.Y. Han. Although Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) do not have formal diplomatic relations, we both attach great importance to the development of science and technology. The U.A.E. established the world’s first AI-focused university in 2019; in addition, the UAE’s Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) recently announced an allocated budget of US$500 million to invest in the acceleration of research and development of AI and emerging technologies.

        副秘書長續指出，我國與阿拉伯聯合大公國有許多相似之處，包括擴大延攬國際優秀人才、推動醫療科技、半導體產業、AI產業、再生能源及擴建區域交通樞紐等。尤其台灣在晶片與AI技術、先進製程擁有純熟的技術及經驗，去年即有來自阿國的廠商來台參加醫療科技展，因此雙方未來應有無限的合作契機。相信透過葛如鈞委員成立的聯誼會及交流協會，定能協助推動台阿兩國間在各種領域上更深更廣的交流及合作。

       Deputy Secretary-General Chang continued to point out that Taiwan and the U.A.E. have a lot in common, including expanding the recruitment of international talents, promoting medical technology, developing semiconductor industry, AI industry, and renewable energy, as well as the development of regional transportation hubs. For chip and AI technology, in particular, Taiwan has advanced technology and experiences, for which companies from the U.A.E. visited Taiwan to participate in the 2023 Healthcare+ Expo. This shows that there are unlimited opportunities for collaborations. It is believed that through the Amity Association and Exchange Association convened by Legislator Ko, there will be more in-depth exchanges between the two counties in various fields.

        副秘書長最後感謝葛如鈞委員成立「中華民國與阿拉伯聯合大公國國會議員友好聯誼會」及「先進科技交流協會」，代表本院對台阿雙邊關係及先進科技發展國際合作的重視。未來如有需要配合的行政事宜，立法院絕對盡力協助，並祝福今天2個成立大會圓滿順利，在場委員及貴賓身體健康、萬事如意。

        Deputy Secretary-General Chang extended his gratitude to Convener Ko for his efforts in forming the two Associations; it shows that the Legislative Yuan puts great emphasis on bilateral relations between Taiwan and the U.A.E., when it comes to the development of advanced science and technology. Should there be any administrative support required, the Legislative Yuan will spare no effort to assist. In closing, Deputy Secretary-General Chang wished good health and great fortune to the legislators and guests present, as well as a success to the inauguration.

        成立大會續由外交部陳立國常務次長致詞祝賀，在葛如鈞委員主持下，通過大會的組織章程及推選會長與副會長，後續在本會副會長與貴賓分別致賀詞、以及與會嘉賓大合影後，歷時45分鐘圓滿結束。
