江啟臣副院長出訪首站是美國佛羅里達州，佛州人口約2300萬人，與台灣總人口數相當，是美國第3大州，僅次於加州及德州。佛州地理及氣候條件與我國相似，每年夏、秋兩季易遭颶風襲擊，今年兩次嚴重的颶風侵襲，造成人員傷亡及鉅額財產損失，我國政府前於10月21日捐助30萬美元賑災，協助該州居民早日恢復正常生活。
Legislative Yuan Vice President Johnny C. Chiang begins his overseas visit in Florida, a state with a population of approximately 23 million—on par with Taiwan's total population. Florida ranks as the third-largest state in the United States, following California and Texas. Florida's geography and climate conditions closely resemble those of Taiwan, with the state frequently being impacted by hurricanes during the summer and fall seasons. This year, two severe hurricanes caused significant casualties and extensive property damage. In response, the Taiwanese government donated US$300,000 on October 21 to support disaster relief efforts and help Florida residents return to normal life as quickly as possible.
江副院長美東時間11月11日清晨抵達佛州邁阿密，即接受邁阿密當地財經雜誌訪問，暢談台美經貿關係及未來合作方向。後續與數名佛州友台政要及聯邦眾議員麥柯美(Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick)會晤，副院長向與會美國朋友介紹台美經貿關係正持續深化，根據進出口貿易統計數據，在睽違20餘年後，美國在本(2024)年第一季再次超車中國大陸成為台灣第一大出口國家，顯見台美緊密的夥伴關係正在發酵。作為人口數與台灣相當、擁有全美第三大經濟規模的佛州，更是台灣未來可以與之合作的重要經貿夥伴。佛州地處北美洲及中南美州的重要節點，擁有強勁的貿易潛力，且為全球第15大經濟體，未來若能與全球第20大經濟體的台灣有更多合作，雙方定當能夠飛躍為前十大經濟體，使台灣與美國都更加繁榮發展。最後，江副院長則藉此難得相聚的機會，邀請與會貴賓擇機訪問台灣，一盡地主之誼。
Vice President Chiang arrived in Miami, Florida, on the morning of November 11, Eastern Time. He immediately participated in an interview with a local business magazine, where he discussed Taiwan-U.S. economic and trade relations and future cooperation opportunities. Subsequently, Vice President Chiang met with several Florida political dignitaries who are friendly to Taiwan, as well as U.S. Representative Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. During the meeting, the Vice President briefed the American attendees on the continuing deepening of Taiwan-U.S. economic and trade relations. According to import and export trade statistics, in the first quarter of 2024, the United States once again surpassed China to become Taiwan's largest export destination after more than 20 years, highlighting the growing strength of the Taiwan-U.S. partnership. With a population comparable to that of Taiwan and the third-largest economy in the United States, Florida stands as a significant future economic and trade partner for Taiwan. Florida, located at a key crossroads between North America and Latin America, boasts tremendous trade potential and is the 15th largest economy in the world. Should it establish further cooperation with Taiwan, the 20th largest economy globally, both sides are poised to advance into the ranks of the top ten economies, fostering greater prosperity and development for both Taiwan and the United States. Finally, Vice President Chiang took this rare opportunity to invite the distinguished guests in attendance to visit Taiwan at an opportune time, extending the warm hospitality of the host.

晚間江副院長出席「北美洲臺灣商會聯合總會」晚宴活動，江副院長表示上次來到邁阿密是約20餘年前的事，舊地重遊甚是感動。今日受邀出席，他特別捎來韓院長及立法院對台商朋友的感謝之意，感謝台商的奮鬥與打拚使台灣能見度大增，此行看見邁阿密機場高掛中華民國國旗，便是台商使中華民國被看見的絕佳例證。此外，台灣的外交處境尤其不易，然因有台商的努力，台灣獲得了許多國際朋友，中華民國每多一位朋友，就是少一個敵人。副院長並承諾在台商持續拓展台灣的國際空間之餘，立法院定當作台商最堅強的後盾，此為立法院跨黨派無庸置疑的共識。最後副院長則祝福大會活動圓滿成功、順利，並盼台商有空多回家。
In the evening, Vice President Chiang attended a banquet hosted by the Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce of North America (TCCNA). He remarked that his last visit to Miami was over 20 years ago, and he was deeply moved to revisit this familiar place. Invited to attend today, Vice President Chiang conveyed the gratitude of President Han and the Legislative Yuan to the Taiwanese business community. He expressed appreciation for their hard work and dedication, which has significantly increased Taiwan's visibility. During his visit, he was particularly moved to see the flag of the Republic of China (Taiwan) prominently displayed at Miami International Airport, which served as a prime example of how Taiwanese businesses have helped raise the international profile of Taiwan. Furthermore, Taiwan's diplomatic situation is particularly challenging; however, thanks to the efforts of Taiwanese businesspeople, Taiwan has gained many international friends. For every new friend the Republic of China (Taiwan) gains, it means one less adversary. The Vice President also pledged that while Taiwanese businesses continue to expand Taiwan's international presence, the Legislative Yuan will undoubtedly remain their strongest ally. This commitment is a clear and unwavering consensus across all parties in the Legislative Yuan. Finally, the Vice President wished for the event to be a resounding success and expressed his hope that Taiwanese businesspeople would have the opportunity to come back home more often.
