立法院張裕榮副秘書長於9月11日下午，在國際事務處林晨富處長陪同下，接見「蒙特內哥羅跨黨派國會議員訪臺團」一行4人，外交部歐洲司李唯誠副參事亦陪同出席。

On the afternoon of September 11, Deputy Secretary General Dr. Chang Yu-Jung (張裕榮) of the Legislative Yuan, accompanied by International Affairs Department Director Kevin C.F. Lin, met with a four-member cross-party parliamentary delegation from Montenegro. Deputy Counselor of the Department of European Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Li Wei-Cheng, was also in attendance.

張副秘書長首先代表立法院及韓國瑜院長，向團長胡茜（Anđela Vojinović）議員及訪團成員致上誠摯的歡迎。他表示，蒙特內哥羅國會跨黨派議員遠道來訪，不僅象徵臺蒙兩國國會情誼的深化，也展現雙方攜手開啟合作新頁的決心。

Deputy Secretary General Chang opened the meeting by extending a sincere welcome to the delegation, led by MP Anđela Vojinović. He remarked that the visit by the cross-party Montenegrin parliamentary delegation from afar embodies the deepening of the interparliamentary friendship between Taiwan and Montenegro and demonstrates our shared resolve to usher in a new chapter of mutual cooperation.

張副秘書長指出，蒙特內哥羅自2010年成為歐洲聯盟候選會員後，積極推動入盟談判，並以2028年完成入盟為目標。他祝福蒙國早日加入歐盟大家庭。他並提到，臺灣與蒙國同為依山傍海、面積雖小卻發展潛力無窮的國家。歐盟自2011年起給予臺灣申根免簽待遇後，雙方人民往來愈加密切，盼望有更多臺灣民眾前往蒙特內哥羅，親身感受英國詩人拜倫（Lord Byron）筆下「珍珠灑落之地」的美麗風光。

Deputy Secretary General Chang also noted that since Montenegro became a candidate for membership in the European Union in 2010, the country has actively advanced accession negotiations, with the goal of completing the process by 2028. He extended heartfelt wishes for Montenegro’s successful accession to the EU. Taiwan and Montenegro, he added, are both countries with towering mountains and overlooking the sea, small in land area, yet full of potential for development. He noted that since the EU granted Taiwan visa-free access to the Schengen Area in 2011, exchanges between the peoples have grown closer. He also expressed hope that more Taiwanese will travel to Montenegro to experience firsthand the scenic beauty of the land where “the pearls of nature were sown,” as poetically described by Lord Byron.

張副秘書長進一步表示，敬佩蒙特內哥羅自2006年獨立以來對民主與自由的堅持。近年來雖然中國在巴爾幹地區影響力日增，但「一帶一路」計畫所衍生的高債務風險已使各國提高警覺，甚至選擇退出。臺灣將持續推動與中東歐及巴爾幹國家的多元合作，並透過投資及融資基金鼓勵產業交流。我國在科技、資通訊、再生能源等領域具備優勢，與蒙國發展方向契合，相信未來雙方合作潛力無窮。此外，臺灣亦與「歐洲復興開發銀行」（EBRD）合作，曾協助蒙國建置智慧交通系統，期盼在此基礎上，持續拓展經貿合作，促進雙方共榮發展。

Deputy Secretary General Chang further expressed his admiration for Montenegro’s steadfast commitment to democracy and freedom since its independence in 2006. He noted that China's influence in the Balkans has expanded in recent years, but the high-debt risks stemming from the Belt and Road Initiative have prompted greater caution among countries, with some even opting to withdraw. He added that Taiwan will continue to advance diversified cooperation with Central and Eastern European and Balkan countries and to encourage industrial exchanges through investment and financing funds. Deputy Secretary General Chang also mentioned that Taiwan’s strengths in areas such as technology, ICT, and renewable energy align with Montenegro’s development priorities, and it was his belief that there is limitless potential for future cooperation between the two countries. In addition, Taiwan has worked with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to assist Montenegro in implementing an intelligent transport system, he added, highlighting that Taiwan looks forward to building on this foundation to expand trade and economic cooperation and promote shared prosperity with Montenegro.

他並指出，臺灣與蒙特內哥羅國會皆採一院制，本屆立法院三黨不過半的嶄新格局，仍可為國會外交帶來新契機。立法院新成立的「臺灣與巴爾幹地區九國國會議員友好協會」，已有跨黨派委員踴躍參與，彰顯臺灣對深化與巴爾幹國家友誼的高度重視。期待未來雙邊國會持續互訪交流，為人民創造更多福祉。

He also pointed out that both Taiwan and Montenegro have unicameral legislatures, and that the Legislative Yuan’s new configuration, where the three main parties collectively do not hold a majority, can nonetheless open up fresh opportunities for parliamentary diplomacy. The newly established Taiwan-the Balkans Nine Countries Parliamentary Friendship Association in the Legislative Yuan has already attracted enthusiastic cross-party participation, underscoring Taiwan’s dedication to cementing its friendship with the Balkan countries. He hoped bilateral parliamentary visits and exchanges will continue, thereby generating greater welfare for the peoples of both countries.

訪團團長胡茜議員致詞時表示，本次為歷來蒙國國會最大規模訪臺團，由三位執政黨及一位反對黨議員組成，期待未來有更多、更大型的代表團來臺交流。本次拜會立法院是訪臺行程的最後一站，非常感謝立法院、外交部及各界的熱忱接待，讓他們滿載而歸；她特別讚許臺灣在民主進程上的成就，值得蒙特內哥羅學習，並強調，臺蒙雖同為小國，但均成就卓著，證明國力不在於疆域大小，而在於遠見、使命感與堅守主權。蒙國積極爭取加入歐盟，亦樂於與理念相近的國家深化合作。她另指出，臺灣在民主、科技創新與社會韌性方面表現突出，值得蒙國借鏡，並期許與臺灣共同向世界證明，小國同樣可以成為全球典範。

MP Vojinović, head of the delegation, stated that this delegation was the largest parliamentary mission Montenegro has ever sent to Taiwan, composed of three ruling party members and one opposition member; she expressed hope that more and larger delegations will visit Taiwan for exchanges in the future. The visit to the Legislative Yuan was the final stop on the delegation’s itinerary. She thanked the Legislative Yuan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and all the parties for their warm reception, which guaranteed the delegation's highly productive and fruitful return. Particularly, she commended Taiwan’s achievements in democratic progress as something Montenegro can learn from, and emphasized that Taiwan and Montenegro are both small countries with remarkable achievements, proving that national strength depends not on territorial size, but on its vision, sense of mission, and steadfast defense of sovereignty. She added that Montenegro is seeking to join the EU, and is willing to deepen cooperation with like-minded countries, noting that Taiwan excels in democracy, technological innovation, and social resilience, making it a model that Montenegro can learn from. She also hoped that together with Taiwan, Montenegro could prove to the world that small countries can be global role models as well.

胡茜議員最後提及，訪團此行與臺灣各界交流後，深感雙方可在創新、數位科技、能源、學生交換及文化等領域拓展合作。她特別指出，蒙國國會81席議員中，女性比例高達27%，並有多數議員出身少數族群，展現多元政治文化的可貴。她期盼此次交流成為雙邊深化合作與夥伴關係的起點。

MP Vojinović stated that after meetings with various sectors in Taiwan, the delegation was convinced that both countries can increase cooperation in areas such as innovation, digital technology, energy, student exchanges, and culture. She specifically noted that among Montenegro’s 81 parliamentary seats, women account for as much as 27%, and many MPs come from minority backgrounds, demonstrating Montenegro’s diverse political culture. She hoped that this exchange will mark the starting point for deepening bilateral cooperation and partnership.

在後續交流中，蒙國議員邀請張副秘書長及立法委員擇機訪問蒙國，並盼望更多臺灣人民前往體驗蒙國豐富的觀光資源及當地文化特色。張副秘書長復表感謝，同時也歡迎蒙國國會持續派團來臺交流。他並強調，期許雙邊能進一步推動互設代表處，擴大官方與民間合作交流。蒙國議員均表示，此行收穫良多，臺灣的美食、濃厚人情味及發展成就均令人難忘，並再次感謝立法院、外交部及我駐外人員的周到安排。

In follow-up exchanges, Montenegrin MPs invited Deputy Secretary General Chang and legislators to visit Montenegro and expressed their hope that more Taiwanese visitors would travel there and experience its rich tourism resources local culture. Deputy Secretary General Chang extended his gratitude and looked forward to welcoming more parliamentary delegations from Montenegro in the future. He also reiterated the importance of setting up mutual representative offices to expand cooperation and exchanges in both the public and private sectors. The delegation expressed that the visit was extremely rewarding, noting that Taiwan’s cuisine, warm hospitality, and development achievements have left a lasting impression in their hearts, and they thanked the Legislative Yuan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Taiwan’s overseas personnel once again for their thoughtful arrangements.

雙方另就臺蒙兩國政經情勢處、科技創新、再生能源、學生交換及文化交流等議題廣泛交換意見。會晤歷約30分鐘，氣氛熱絡友好，最後張副秘書長與訪團互贈紀念品並合影留念，為此次交流畫下圓滿句點。

The two sides went on to hold extensive discussions on a range of topics, including political and economic situations in Taiwan and Montenegro, technological innovation, renewable energy, student exchanges, and cultural cooperation. The meeting lasted about 30 minutes in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Lastly, Deputy Secretary General Chang and the delegation exchanged commemorative gifts and posed for group photos, ending the exchange on a successful note.
