立法院韓國瑜院長接見及款宴法國參議院友臺小組訪團一行7人 韓國瑜：歡迎訪團蒞臨立法院 盼持續深化臺法雙邊合作(President Daniel K.Y. Han of the Legislative Yuan receives and hosts luncheon for seven-member delegation from the French Senate's Taiwan Friendship Group; President Han: We welcome the delegation to the Legislative Yuan and look forward to continue to deepen the bilateral cooperation between Taiwan and France.)
On the morning of September 16, President of the Legislative Yuan Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜), accompanied by DPP Legislator Lin Chu-Yin, Chair of the Taiwan-France Parliamentary Friendship Association; KMT Legislator Adm. Chen Yeong-Kang; and Director Kevin C.F. Lin of the Department of International Affairs, met with and hosted a luncheon in honor of a visiting seven-member delegation from the French Senate’s Taiwan Friendship Group led by its Vice President Rachid Temal. Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Ger Bau-Shuan, Deputy Director-General of the Department of European Affairs Chen Ming-Chieh, as well as Deputy Director Cléa Le Cardeur and political advisor and Head of Press and Communication Vincent Yanelle of the French Office in Taipei, also attended the meeting.
韓院長偕出席委員與訪賓合影後表示，此為其任內第六度接待來自法國之訪問團，顯見臺法情感交流頻繁順暢。韓院長繼介紹立法院為一院制國會，現有113位委員，並逐一介紹陪同接待之兩位跨黨派委員。
Following a group photograph with the accompanying legislators and visiting guests, President Han remarked that this visit marked the sixth delegation from France he has received during his tenure, underscoring the depth and vitality of the cordial exchanges between Taiwan and France. President Han proceeded to introduce the Legislative Yuan as a unicameral legislature comprising 113 members, and subsequently presented the two legislators from different parties who were accompanying him in the reception.
韓院長進一步指出，「法國」之「法」字蘊含公平、正義、規範與治理之意，表現我們對法國之高度肯定及讚賞；此外，法國政治思想對中華民國亦影響深遠，如孟德斯鳩之「三權分立」思想對全世界影響深遠，亦帶給我國憲法諸多啟示，若無法國，今日西方文明之璀璨成果將相對黯淡，盼往後臺法在多元層次上擁有更多交流，韓院長最後再次對訪團蒞臨表達熱烈歡迎。
President Han further pointed out that the character "法" (fă), used in the Mandarin name for France, embodies the concepts of fairness, justice, regulations, and governance, signifying Taiwan’s profound recognition and esteem for France. President Han further added that the French political thought has exerted a profound influence on the Republic of China (Taiwan); for instance, Montesquieu’s concept of the separation of powers has had a far-reaching impact worldwide and has provided significant inspiration for Taiwan’s Constitution, highlighting that were it not for France, the brilliance of today’s Western civilization would be far less radiant. President Han expressed the hope that Taiwan and France will engage in further exchanges across multiple dimensions, and concluded by once again extending a warm welcome to the visiting delegation.
團長特瑪副主席感謝韓院長撥冗接見，並轉達參議院友臺小組勒莫恩（Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne）主席因選區事務不克前來之歉意。特瑪副主席續表示，訪團成員亦來自不同黨派，不僅呈現法國多元政治，亦展現法國國會跨黨派對民主臺灣的支持，此行訪臺除展現出對法國參議院對國會會外交之重視外，亦期盼加強兩國在文化、科學、經濟及社會韌性等領域之交流。他並藉此機會讚場「法國在台協會」及「駐法國台北代表處」之出色表現，並誠摯邀請韓院長擇機率團訪問法國。
Vice President Temal, head of the delegation, expressed his gratitude to President Han for taking the time to meet with the delegation and conveyed the apologies of French Senate’s Taiwan Friendship Group Chair Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, who was unable to attend due to constituency matters. Vice President Temal further stated that the delegation comprises members from different political parties, reflecting not only France’s pluralistic political landscape but also the cross-party support of the French Parliament for democratic Taiwan. He noted that the visit underscores the French Senate’s emphasis on parliamentary diplomacy while expressing the hope of strengthening bilateral exchanges in culture, science, economy, and social resilience. He also took the opportunity to commend the outstanding work of the French Office in Taipei and the Taipei Representative Office in France, and sincerely extended an invitation to President Han to lead a delegation on a future visit to France.
雙方互贈紀念品後，午宴隨即展開，席間雙方持續就共同關心議題進行深度交流，韓院長表示臺灣其實不只擁有先進之半導體製造技術及具國際競爭力之完整產業聚落，在生物科技方面亦高度發展，盼未來臺法在此領域亦能拓展更多合作契機，共同創造潛力無窮之商業機會。特瑪主席非常感謝院長之提議，允將帶回法國轉達相關行政部門，他也相信必定有許多法國藥廠及研究機構對此項雙邊合作抱持高度興趣。
Following the exchange of commemorative gifts, the luncheon commenced, during which both sides engaged in in-depth discussions on topics of mutual interest. President Han noted that Taiwan not only possesses advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies and globally competitive industrial clusters, but also excels in biotechnology development. He expressed the hope that Taiwan and France can further expand cooperation in this field to jointly create boundless business opportunities. Chair Temal expressed his sincere gratitude for President Han’s proposal, indicating that he would convey it to the relevant administrative departments in France, and expressed his confidence that numerous French pharmaceutical companies and research institutions would hold strong interest in this bilateral cooperation.
林楚茵委員接續發言表示，她今早甫自法國及其他歐洲國家訪問返國，很高興能與訪團成員賈道雍（Yannick Jadot）議員及裴玖（Philippe Péjo）執行秘書相隔幾天在臺北再次見面，並再度歡迎訪團蒞臨臺灣。她進一步說明特瑪副主席稱呼她為「香檳女士」，係因2022年立法院通過她所推動將法國香檳之關稅調降為與紅白酒相同之10%，以回應法國對臺灣堅定的國際支持。林委員續感謝韓院長對深化臺法關係之努力，大力支持兩國國會交流；亦感謝（113）年11月法國參議院熱情接待江啟臣副院長所率之跨黨派委員訪問團，促成兩院定期互訪交流。最後，她指出近日在臺北舉行之臺灣半導體展（SEMICON Taiwan）有許多法國廠商參與，未來我國富士康公司也將提高對法投資，相信有助深化臺法經貿合作及雙向投資。
Legislator Lin then spoke, noting that she had just returned this morning from visiting France and other European countries, and expressed her pleasure at being able to meet again in Taipei with the delegation members, including Legislator Yannick Jadot and Executive Secretary Philippe Péjo, after only a few days, once again extending a warm welcome to the visiting delegation to Taiwan. She further explained that Vice President Temal referred to her as “Madame Champagne” in recognition of her initiative in 2022, when the Legislative Yuan approved her proposal to reduce tariffs on French Champagne to 10%, the same rate as for red and white wines, as a gesture of appreciation for France’s steadfast international support of Taiwan. Legislator Lin further expressed her gratitude to President Han for his efforts in deepening Taiwan-France relations and for his strong support of parliamentary exchanges between the two countries. She also expressed appreciation for the warm reception extended by the French Senate in November 2024 to the cross-party delegation led by Vice President Dr. Johnny C. Chiang (江啟臣), which facilitated regular reciprocal exchanges between the two legislatures. Lastly, she noted that many French companies participated in the recent SEMICON Taiwan held in Taipei, and that Taiwan’s Foxconn plans to increase its investments in France, which she believes will help further deepen Taiwan-France economic cooperation and two-way investment.
陳永康委員則代表外交及國防委員會、國民黨團表達對訪團的誠摯歡迎，並感謝法國長期對印太區域安全之關注及支持民主臺灣。過去他曾數度訪問法國，雖多為採購軍備及談論國防相關議題，然仍深刻感受到法國深厚之歷史及文化底蘊，未來盼除科技及文化外，臺法亦能深化教育交流，以增進相互瞭解與友誼。
Legislator Chen, on behalf of the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee and the KMT caucus, extended a sincere welcome to the delegation and expressed appreciation for France’s long-standing attention to Indo-Pacific security and its steadfast support for democratic Taiwan. He shared that he had visited France on several occasions in the past, primarily for discussions on defense procurement and related issues, and was deeply impressed by the country’s rich historical and cultural heritage. He expressed the hope that, beyond cooperation in technology and culture, Taiwan and France could also deepen educational exchanges to further enhance mutual understanding and friendship.
雙方另就臺灣半導體展、生物科技發展、體育交流、臺法政治現況、立法院運作及預算審查、俄烏戰爭對臺之影響、印太安全、臺海局勢，以及社群媒體對錯假訊息傳播的影響等議題廣泛交換意見。會談氛圍輕鬆融洽，賓主盡歡，午宴歷約兩小時結束。
The two sides also held extensive discussions on a wide range of topics, including SEMICON Taiwan, developments in biotechnology, sports exchanges, the current political situations of both Taiwan and France, the operation and budget review process of the Legislative Yuan, the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on Taiwan, Indo-Pacific security, the situation of the Taiwan Strait, and the influence of social media on the spread of misinformation and disinformation. The meeting took place in a cordial and relaxed atmosphere, with both sides enjoying warm and friendly exchanges. The luncheon concluded after approximately two hours.
