江副院長受訪表示，本次出訪是立法院休會後首次啟動國會外交出訪歐洲，行程包含捷克、西班牙及義大利，因今年適逢捷克布拉格與台灣直航一週年，明年故宮文物將在捷克展出，此外，亦規劃拜訪「國家科學及技術委員會」的ＩＣ設計海外訓練中心，見證台灣與捷克在教育及科技交流密切的成果；而此行最重要的國會外交將拜訪捷克參眾議院，並會晤韋德齊議長及諸多國會議員。
In an interview, Vice President Chiang, stated that this visit marks the Legislative Yuan’s first parliamentary diplomacy mission to Europe following the recess. The itinerary includes visits to the Czech Republic, Spain, and Italy. This year marks the first anniversary of direct flights between Prague and Taiwan, and next year, artifacts from the National Palace Museum will be exhibited in the Czech Republic. Additionally, plans include a visit to the National Science and Technology Council's overseas IC design training center to witness the results of active Taiwan-Czech educational and technological exchanges. The most significant aspect of this parliamentary diplomacy trip is a visit to both the Chamber of Deputies and Senate of the Czech Republic, where meetings with Speaker Miloš Vystrčil and numerous parliamentarians are scheduled.
副院長續謂，本次行程也安排參加在西班牙舉行的歐華年會，這是歐洲僑界的年度盛事，訪團將代表立法院與僑界交流互動，同時慰問僑胞。另外，外交部近期在義大利米蘭新開設「駐米蘭辦事處」，而「駐羅馬代表處」也搬遷至新辦公室，這都是過往立法院預算審查中通過的項目，本次出訪將考察駐地辦公室及駐外業務，同時安排與當地國會議員的會晤及拜訪。
Vice President Chiang further stated that the itinerary includes participation in the Annual Conference for Overseas Compatriots in Europe in Spain, a major event for the overseas compatriots’ community in Europe. The delegation will represent the Legislative Yuan and engage with the overseas community while also extending their regards to expatriates. Additionally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently opened the new Taipei Representative Office in Italy - Milan Office and relocated the Taipei Representative Office in Italy - Rome Office to new premises, both of which were approved during past Legislative Yuan budget reviews. This visit will include inspections of these offices and their operations, as well as meetings with local parliamentarians.
至於八月的訪美計畫，副院長表示，他與立法院其他委員受邀參加八月中在美國休士頓舉辦的「全美臺灣同鄉聯誼會」年會，目前尚在規劃中；若有機會，他將拜訪美國休士頓及附近城市與當地參眾議員交流。
Regarding the upcoming visit to the United States in August, Vice President Chiang mentioned that he and other Legislative Yuan members have been invited to attend the annual conference of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America (TBAA), which will take place in mid-August in Houston. The trip is still in the planning stages. If the opportunity arises, he intends to visit Houston and nearby cities to engage with local members of the U.S. Congress.
受訪結束後，副院長率同委員進行大合影，並預祝本次立法院歐洲國會外交之行訪問順利成功。
After the interview, Vice President Chiang, along with the accompanying legislators, participated in a group photo and wished for the success of the Legislative Yuan's European parliamentary diplomacy trip.
