In the evening of September 27, Vice President of the Legislative Yuan Johnny C. Chiang attended the “Dinner Banquet for the 3rd Session of the World Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce (WTCC) 30th Board of Directors and Supervisors Meeting” held at the Kaohsiung Marriott Hotel.

Also in attendance were President Steven Lee of the 30th WTCC, Chairperson Tony Liu of the Board of Supervisors, and President-elect Kenneth Wu of the 31st WTCC, as well as representatives of Taiwanese businesses from the five continents. The event was grand and lively, with a hundred tables sitting a prominent gathering of guests.
晚宴在原住民兒童合唱團清亮的歌聲中揭開序幕，江副院長代表立法院致詞。副院長首先向現場貴賓介紹與會之立法委員，並表示很榮幸有此機會可以款宴諸位辛苦的台商朋友，歡迎各位回到台灣這個「溫暖的家」，也期待大家常常回到立法院、這個大門永遠為台商敞開的「娘家」！身為「中華民國立法院世界台商之友會」的會長，他也特別代表韓國瑜院長及全體立法委員，竭誠歡迎所有的台商常常回來看看，多來多往。
The dinner banquet kicked off with the beautiful singing of the indigenous children’s choir, and Vice President Chiang, on behalf of the Legislative Yuan, gave his welcoming remarks. Vice President Chiang first introduced legislators in attendance to the guests and expressed he was delighted to be able to hold a dinner banquet to thank the hardworking Taiwanese businessmen. He welcomed all of them to come back to the warm, cozy home that is Taiwan and looked forward to seeing them return to the Legislative Yuan, whose doors are always open to the Taiwanese businessmen working abroad. As the President of Association of Overseas Taiwanese Businessmen of the Legislative Yuan of Republic of China (Taiwan), he heartily welcomed all Taiwanese businessmen to come back often and remain in close contact on behalf of President Daniel K.Y. Han and all legislators.
江副院長續謂，感謝各位台商朋友，在僑居地忙碌事業之餘，仍時時心繫台灣。台灣許多的外交工作、國民外交、甚至是國會外交，都得力於台商的鼎力相助。此外，每當台灣面臨挑戰與困難時，台商們總是在第一時間伸出援手，給予最溫暖的幫助。今（113）年4月3日花蓮大地震，世總隨即拋磚引玉，迅速發起全球募捐活動，捐助新台幣1,000萬元用於災區賑災，江副院長代表立法院及台灣人民，向所有熱愛台灣的台商朋友們致上最誠摯的謝意。
Vice President Chiang further noted that he would like to convey his sincere gratitude to Taiwanese businessmen for deeply caring about Taiwan despite their busy careers abroad. Many of Taiwan’s diplomatic efforts, national diplomacy, or even parliamentary diplomacy, have greatly benefited from the strong support of Taiwanese businessmen. In addition, they are always the first to step in to lend a helping hand when Taiwan is confronted with difficulties or challenges. After the earthquake in Hualien on April 3, 2024, the WTCC immediately set an example by launching global fundraising activities, donating NT$10 million in disaster relief. Vice President Chiang, on behalf of the Legislative Yuan and the people in Taiwan, extended the sincerest appreciation for all Taiwanese businessmen, whose hearts are with Taiwan.
江副院長強調，在台灣面臨國際環境艱困之際，幸有賴海外台商的大力幫忙，協助台灣橋接世界各國的公私部門、民意機關，幫助台灣走出去，鏈結國際。副院長續謂，本（第11）屆立法院三黨不過半，係2008年立委席次減半改革後首見，雖然委員們在內政議題上偶有激烈攻防，但在「支持台商」上立法院跨黨派有一致共識，故各位台商朋友有任何需要服務的地方，請不要客氣，立法院將作為各位台商最強而有力的依靠與後盾。未來在審查預算之時，立法院將大力支持與台商相關的預算，不分黨派給予台商最實質的後援。
Vice President Chiang stressed that when Taiwan struggles to connect with the international community, it is very fortunate to have Taiwanese businessmen overseas generously assisting Taiwan liaise with public and private sectors, as well as democratic bodies and works of various nations around the world. This is a great help to Taiwan to enhance its international visibility and engage with other countries. Vice President Chiang continued to say that in the current (11th) Legislative Yuan, none of the three major political parties hold the majority; this is the very first time anything like this has taken place since the legislators' seats were reduced by half in 2008. Though legislators have heated debates over domestic issues from time to time, supporting Taiwanese businessmen is a unanimous consensus across party lines. The Legislative Yuan will serve as the strongest support and backup for Taiwanese businessmen whenever needed. When deliberating budgetary bills in the future, the Legislative Yuan will also fully support budgets related to Taiwanese businessmen, giving them the most substantial support regardless of party affiliation.
江副院長繼感謝李天柒總會長過去一年來，帶領團隊所做的付出與貢獻，並期許其轉任輔導總會長後，繼續為台商服務，並恭喜即將接任的第31屆總會長當選人吳光宜總會長。
Vice President Chiang thanked President Steven Lee for his commitment and contribution in leading the team over the past year, and expected that he will continue to serve Taiwanese businessmen when he assumes the role of advisory president. He also congratulated President-elect Kenneth Wu of the 31st WTCC for his upcoming appointment.
江副院長最後再次強調，立法院的大門永遠為台商而開，全體立法委員都樂於為台商朋友們提供協助，並邀請所有在場的立法委員上台向在座的嘉賓舉杯致敬，祝福各位台商朋友們，事業興旺、家庭圓滿、闔家平安、「大賺錢！」、「錢大賺！」、「賺大錢！」。
Vice President Chiang concluded by emphasizing that the doors of the Legislative Yuan will always be open to Taiwanese businessmen, and all legislators are more than willing to assist them in any way they can. He then invited legislators in attendance to go on stage to toast in honor of all distinguished guests, whishing them a successful career, happy family, and peace for all with “great profits,” “big fortunes,” and “long-lasting prosperity.”
晚宴接續由世總李天柒總會長致詞並贈予江副院長感謝牌後開席，晚宴氣氛熱絡、輕鬆愉快，歷約2小時30分鐘圓滿結束。
The banquet carried on with a speech by WTCC President Steven Lee, followed by the presentation of an appreciation plaque to Vice President Chiang, and the start of the dinner. The banquet lasted two hours and half and came to a successful end in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
