成立大會首先由韓院長致開場詞,他表示此次各黨派均有委員出席「壯世代政策及產業發展促進會」成立大會,顯見「壯世代」議題廣受所有委員重視,相信「壯世代」這個年齡層能為社會做出更多貢獻。他繼謂吳春城委員曾說55歲以上皆可稱為壯世代,這社會應該鼓勵60歲以上民眾繼續向外開創新局面。韓院長幽默表示,他也是60歲以後仍在找工作,因此他相當鼓勵60歲以上民眾的人生有所突破。他並指出,「壯世代」占台灣三分之一人口及三分之二財富,這驚人數據值得重視。吳春城委員致力呼籲各界重視「壯世代」,未來如須發展為政策及法律,立法院一定全力協助,讓「壯世代」重新發光發熱。韓院長最後也歡迎舊雨新知多來立院走走,看看新國會的變化,並盼新國會符合人民期待。
President Han delivered the opening remarks, expressing that legislators from all political parties attended the inauguration of the Strong Generation Policy and Industrial Development Association, highlighting the widespread importance attached to the issues concerning the "strong generation" by all legislators. He believes that this age group can make greater contributions to society. President Han noted that Legislator Wu Chun-cheng once said that individuals aged 55 and above could be considered part of the "strong generation," suggesting that society should encourage those over 60 to continue seeking new opportunities. He jokingly mentioned his ongoing job search after turning 60, emphasizing the importance of breaking new ground for individuals of that age. He also pointed out that the "strong generation" constitutes one-third of Taiwan's population and possesses two-thirds of its wealth, highlighting the significance of this astonishing data. Legislator Wu called on all sectors to prioritize the "strong generation." Should the need arise to develop policies or laws in this regard, the Legislative Yuan will undoubtedly provide full assistance to revitalize the "strong generation." President Han concluded by welcoming familiar faces and newcomers to the Legislative Yuan to witness the changes in the new parliament and expressing hope that the new legislature will meet the expectations of the people.
院長致詞結束後與全體貴賓進行合影。隨後由江副院長致詞,他表示全球現正面臨兩大議題,其一是人口老化,其二是全球暖化,這是不分黨派、顏色及國度且無可迴避的現實問題,盼立法院成為跨黨派委員討論該等議題的平台。江副院長指出,65歲以上人口占台灣人口的20%,事實上,部份立法委員的選區位處偏鄉,65歲以上的人口占比可能早已超過20%。但他相信以台灣人民的高素質,輔以觀念轉換及世代活化,定能讓「壯世代」愈來愈壯。他也盼在場的行政部門致力就此一議題提出具體政策,一起面對這個世代議題。
After the President's speech concluded, a group photo was taken with all the distinguished guests. Subsequently, Vice President Chiang delivered his remarks, highlighting two major global issues: population aging and global warming. He emphasized that these are unavoidable realities that transcend political parties and national boundaries, hoping that the Legislative Yuan would serve as a platform for multipartisan discussion on these issues. Vice President Chiang pointed out that the population aged 65 and above accounts for 20% of Taiwan's population. In fact, the proportion of people aged 65 and above in some legislators’ electoral districts in rural areas may already exceed 20%. However, he expressed confidence in the high quality of the Taiwanese people and believed that with a shift in mindset and generational revitalization, the "strong generation" would continue to grow stronger. He also hoped that the executive branch at the ceremony would devote efforts to proposing specific policies on this issue and collectively addressing this generational challenge.
