立法院江啟臣副院長接見「泰國臺灣商會聯合總會回國訪問團」一行 江啟臣：期待臺泰深化合作 支持臺商發展( Vice President Dr. Johnny C. Chiang of the Legislative Yuan meets the delegation of the Thai-Taiwan Business Association; Vice President Chiang: We look forward to deeper Taiwan-Thailand cooperation and supporting the growth of Taiwanese businesses)
立法院江啟臣副院長於本（1月16）日下午4時在「中華民國立法院世界臺商之友會」副會長鍾佳濱委員、國民黨廖先翔委員、「台灣與泰國國會議員友好協會」會長劉建國委員、僑務委員會阮昭雄副委員長及國際事務處陳靜芳秘書等人陪同下，接見「泰國臺灣商會聯合總會回國訪問團」一行30人。
Vice President Dr. Johnny C. Chiang of the Legislative Yuan met with a 30-member delegation from the Thai-Taiwan Business Association at 4pm on the afternoon of January 16. He was accompanied by Legislator Chung Chia-Pin, Vice President of the Legislative Yuan Association of Overseas Taiwanese Businessmen; KMT Legislator Liao Hsien-Hsiang; Legislator Liu Chien-Kuo, Chair of the Taiwan-Thailand Inter-Parliamentary Amity Association; Joshua Jhao-Syong Ruan, Deputy Minister of the Overseas Community Affairs Council; and Chen Ching-Fang, Secretary of the Department of International Affairs.
江副院長首先向訪賓表達熱忱歡迎，並偕在場委員與訪賓合影留念。他表示，立法院是所有僑胞朋友的「家」，期盼臺商朋友們能常「回家」，造訪立法院。近期因年關將近，立法院本（第11屆第2）會期已接近尾聲，正密集進行預算審查，立法委員們行程滿檔，此次交流更凸顯立法院對臺商的高度重視。
Vice President Chiang warmly welcomed the delegation and, together with the attending legislators, took a commemorative photo with the guests. He stated that the Legislative Yuan serves as a "home" for all overseas Taiwanese and expressed his hope that Taiwanese business leaders would frequently "return home" to visit the Legislative Yuan. As the Lunar New Year approaches, the current legislative session (the 2nd session of the 11th Legislative Yuan) is drawing to a close, with intensive budget reviews underway and legislators managing tightly packed schedules. This meeting underscores the Legislative Yuan’s strong commitment to supporting Taiwanese businesses abroad.
江副院長進一步指出，泰國為東協第二大經濟體，臺商在當地的卓越成就有目共睹，從傳統製造業、代工產業，到現今的電子業與高科技產業，均能見其足跡。江副院長回顧去（113）年赴泰國與臺商會面的經驗，深感雙邊合作潛力無窮。特別是去年臺灣與泰國簽署了《臺泰投資促進及保障協定》，泰國並實施對臺旅客免簽待遇，不僅進一步鞏固雙邊經貿關係，也對雙方人民的交流產生了正向影響。
Vice President Chiang further emphasized that Thailand is the second-largest economy in ASEAN, and the remarkable achievements of Taiwanese businesses in Thailand are clear to all. From traditional manufacturing and OEM industries to modern electronics and high-tech sectors, Taiwanese enterprises have established a strong presence across many fields. Vice President Chiang reflected on his visit to Thailand last year (2024) and his meetings with the Taiwanese business community, emphasizing the immense potential for bilateral cooperation. In particular, the signing of the Agreement between the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand (TECO) and the Thailand Trade and Economic Office in Taipei (TTEO) for the Promotion and Protection of Investments last year, along with Thailand’s implementation of a visa exemption for Taiwanese travelers, has not only further strengthened bilateral economic and trade relations but also had a positive impact on exchanges between the peoples of both sides.
江副院長強調，以泰國移工為首的東南亞各國移工對臺灣經濟發展的貢獻不容忽視。疫情後，臺泰雙邊互訪人次已突破百萬，充分展現兩國在經貿、觀光及人力資源上的緊密連結。未來，立法院將持續協助推動有利政策，協助臺商拓展海外發展。最後，江副院長祝福訪團訪臺行程圓滿順利，並祝新的一年萬事如意、心想事成、「大賺錢」、「賺大錢」。
Vice President Chiang emphasized that migrant workers from Southeast Asian countries, particularly those from Thailand, have made indispensable contributions to Taiwan’s economic development. Since the pandemic, the number of travelers between Taiwan and Thailand has exceeded one million, fully demonstrating the close ties between the two countries in trade, tourism, and human resources. Looking ahead, the Legislative Yuan will continue to support the implementation of favorable policies to assist Taiwanese businesses in expanding their global presence. In closing, Vice President Chiang wished the delegation a successful and fruitful visit to Taiwan. He also extended his best wishes for the new year, hoping for prosperity, success, and great financial gains.
「泰國臺灣商會聯合總會」總會長陳漢川感謝「中華民國立法院世界臺商之友會」會長江副院長、副會長鍾佳濱委員及在場所有委員撥冗接見。他表示，泰國作為新南向政策的重點國家，政局穩定且投資環境優越，是臺商重要的深耕據點。未來，希望結合臺灣的高科技資源，進一步提升臺商的國際競爭力，並期盼立法院能持續於法規層面為臺商的海外發展提供更多支持。
President Chen Hann-Chuan of the Thai-Taiwan Business Association expressed his gratitude to Vice President Chiang, the Chair of the Association of Overseas Taiwanese Businessmen, as well as to Vice Chair Legislator Chung Chia-Pin and all attending legislators for taking the time to meet with the delegation. He stated that as a key country in Taiwan’s New Southbound Policy, Thailand offers a stable political environment and an excellent investment climate, making it a crucial hub for Taiwanese businesses to establish a strong foothold. Looking ahead, he expressed hope for leveraging Taiwan’s advanced technological resources to further enhance the international competitiveness of Taiwanese businesses. He also anticipated that the Legislative Yuan would continue to provide greater regulatory support for the overseas expansion of Taiwanese enterprises.
鍾佳濱委員熱烈歡迎訪賓，並幽默分享他個人的旅泰趣事，肯定臺商對臺灣經濟發展的重要貢獻，未來將尋求更積極的方式協助海外僑胞。
Legislator Chung Chia-Pin warmly welcomed the delegation and humorously shared his personal experiences traveling in Thailand. He acknowledged the significant contributions of Taiwanese businesses to Taiwan’s economic development and expressed his commitment to seeking more proactive ways to support overseas Taiwanese communities in the future.
廖先翔委員表示，他個人十分喜愛前往泰國旅遊，對泰國人民的善良、熱情以及豐富的飲食文化印象深刻。廖委員指出，在美中貿易對抗的背景下，許多在中國的臺商選擇將投資轉向泰國，期盼在場各位泰國臺商能慷慨分享經驗，不分先來後到，攜手共同創造更多商機。
Legislator Liao Hsien-Hsiang stated that he personally enjoys traveling to Thailand and is deeply impressed by the kindness and hospitality of the Thai people, as well as the country’s rich culinary culture. Legislator Liao highlighted that, amid the U.S.-China trade tensions, many Taiwanese businesses in China have chosen to relocate their investments to Thailand. He expressed hope that the Taiwanese business community in Thailand would generously share their experiences, regardless of when they entered the market, and work together to create more business opportunities.
「台灣與泰國國會議員友好協會」會長劉建國委員強調，近期立法院已進入預算審查的最後階段，儘管各黨立場與提案有所不同，但期盼立法委員同僚們能秉持務實態度，妥善完成預算審查，以回應臺灣人民對立法院的期待。
Chair of the Taiwan-Thailand Inter-Parliamentary Amity Association, Legislator Liu Chien-Kuo, emphasized that the Legislative Yuan has entered the final stage of budget examinations. While different parties hold varying positions and proposals, he expressed hope that his fellow legislators would uphold a pragmatic approach to ensure the proper completion of the budget review process, meeting the expectations of the Taiwanese people.
雙方隨後就近期立法院動態、預算審查進度、臺灣民主制度發展、臺泰關係、僑務工作、僑胞返國參加國慶大典及移民政策等議題廣泛交換意見。此次拜會歷約40分鐘，氣氛友好熱絡，雙方於互贈紀念品後為今日會晤劃下圓滿的句點。
Both sides then engaged in a broad exchange of views on various topics, including recent developments in the Legislative Yuan, the progress of budget examinations, the development of Taiwan’s democratic system, Taiwan-Thailand relations, overseas community affairs, overseas Taiwanese returning to Taiwan to participate in the National Day celebrations, and immigration policies. The meeting lasted approximately 40 minutes in a warm and amicable atmosphere. The two sides concluded the gathering on a successful note with an exchange of commemorative gifts.
