On the morning of September 16, Legislative Yuan Deputy Secretary General Dr. Chang Yu-Jung (張裕榮), representing Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜), received a seven-member delegation from the Taiwan-Israel Parliamentary Group. He was accompanied by KMT Legislator Adm. Chen Yeong-Kang and DPP Legislator Dr. Wang Ting-Yu. Also in attendance were Representative Maya Yaron of the Israel Economic and Cultural Office (ISECO) in Taipei, Director Kevin C.F. Lin of the Department of International Affairs, and Deputy Director-General Chen Yung-Po of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Department of West Asian and African Affairs.
張副秘書長首先代表立法院及韓國瑜院長向杜伯斯基（Boaz Toporovsky）主席一行表達熱忱歡迎，並偕同出席委員與訪團合影留念，隨後由王定宇委員及陳永康委員分別致開場詞。王定宇委員誠摯歡迎訪團一行不遠千里而來，渠表示臺以兩國即便面臨艱困之國際處境，但皆共享民主自由等普世價值，期盼臺以雙邊克服地理隔閡，加強互訪交流，以促成更多領域合作，創造雙贏局面，增進兩國人民福祉。陳永康委員表示過去曾三度造訪以色列，留下深刻印象，繼謂臺以兩國共同面臨國際情勢快速變化及諸多挑戰，以國不僅培育出許多世界頂尖專業人才，期盼未來兩國相互借鏡學習，為下一代創造更美好的未來。
At the beginning of the meeting, Deputy Secretary General Chang, on behalf of the Legislative Yuan and President Han, extended a warm welcome to Chair Boaz Toporovsky and his delegation, which was followed by a group photo with the attending legislators and guests. Legislators Wang and Chen then delivered opening remarks. Legislator Wang warmly welcomed the delegation’s visit from afar and remarked that despite the difficult international circumstances both Taiwan and Israel face, the two nations share universal values such as democracy and freedom. He expressed hope that Taiwan and Israel would overcome geographical distance, strengthen mutual visits and exchanges, and promote cooperation across various fields to achieve win-win outcomes and enhance the well-being of their peoples. Legislator Chen noted that he had visited Israel three times in the past and was deeply impressed by the country. He added that both Taiwan and Israel are facing rapid global changes and many challenges. Israel has cultivated numerous world-class professionals, and he hoped that both sides could continue to learn from each other to create a better future for the next generation.
張副秘書長致詞時提及，作為我國唯一中央立法機關，立法院反映人民心聲,代表人民行使職權。本屆立法院有113席委員，來自不同政黨、區域與族群，其中亦包含政黨比例代表及原住民族代表，此制度之設計旨在確保臺灣社會多元聲音能充分反映於國會殿堂。
In his remarks, Deputy Secretary General Chang stated that as the nation’s sole central legislative body, the Legislative Yuan reflects the will of the people and exercises its authority on their behalf. He added that the current Legislative Yuan consists of 113 members from diverse political parties, regions, and ethnic groups, including at-large representatives elected by proportional representation and representatives of Indigenous peoples, highlighting that this system is designed to ensure that Taiwan’s pluralistic voices are fully represented in the legislature.
張副秘書長繼指出，立法院法案審查與辯論過程中總是充滿意見上的交流與碰撞，但這正是民主社會本質，其中立法院之黨團協商機制，讓跨黨派不同聲音透過協商找尋共識，除可尊重少數黨意見，亦能確保國會有效運作，這正是臺灣正黨政治的獨特之處。過去三十多年來臺灣民主發展進程雖充滿挑戰，但大家始終堅信民主價值在於尊重多元、追求共識、勇於改革，今日能與訪團一行充分交流，除說明前述信念外，也誠摯期盼未來臺以能持續經驗共享、深化雙邊交流合作。
Deputy Secretary General Chang went on to note that debates and deliberations in the Legislative Yuan are often marked by lively exchanges of opinion, which are at the heart of democracy. Through the party caucuses negotiation mechanism, lawmakers from across party lines can seek consensus while respecting minority views and ensuring effective parliamentary operation—an embodiment of Taiwan’s vibrant party politics. He emphasized that Taiwan’s democratic journey over the past three decades has not been without challenges, yet the nation remains steadfast in upholding the values of pluralism, consensus-building, and reform. He expressed his sincere hope that through such exchanges, Taiwan and Israel would continue to share experiences and deepen bilateral cooperation.
「以色列國會友臺小組」杜伯斯基主席致詞時首先感謝我國對以色列的堅定支持，此行係渠第三度訪臺，臺灣人民的友善與熱情令他及訪團成員倍感親切溫暖。他提及以色列目前仍處於戰爭狀態，尤其自2023年10月開始遭受哈瑪斯恐怖攻擊以來，臺灣在第一時間發揮道德勇氣，表達關切與支持，使以國政府及人民深刻感受到雙邊友誼之深厚。為展現以國國會對臺灣的堅定支持，他今日特地攜帶一份由該國國會共72名跨黨派國會議員所簽署之聯合聲明，明確表明支持臺灣的國際參與，張副秘書長代表中華民國立法院領受並表示感謝稱，此充分展現雙邊國會的深厚情誼，亦盼未來臺以雙邊能有更多領域之合作。
Chair Boaz Toporovsky, head of the Taiwan-Israel Parliamentary Group, began his remarks by thanking Taiwan for its steadfast support of Israel. He noted that this was his third visit to Taiwan, and that the friendliness and warmth of the Taiwanese people had deeply touched him and his delegation. He mentioned that Israel remains in a state of war, and since the Hamas terrorist attacks in October 2023, Taiwan has demonstrated moral courage by expressing concern and support from the very beginning—actions that have enabled the Israeli government and people to feel the deep friendship between the two nations. To demonstrate the Knesset’s strong support for Taiwan, Chair Toporovsky presented a joint statement signed by 72 cross-party members of the Knesset, explicitly affirming their support for Taiwan’s participation in the international community. Deputy Secretary General Chang accepted the statement on behalf of the Legislative Yuan of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and expressed heartfelt gratitude, noting that it fully reflected the deep friendship between the two legislatures, and voicing hope for greater cooperation across various fields in the future.
在後續交流中，訪問團成員除邀請張副秘書長及立法委員組團擇機訪問以色列外，也期望更多臺灣人民前往體驗以國豐富的觀光資源及當地文化特色。雙方另就臺以兩國政經情勢、促進雙邊投資,科技創新、農產品供應、學術及文化交流等議題廣泛交換意見。會晤歷約60分鐘，氣氛熱絡友好，最後張副秘書長偕委員與訪團互贈紀念品並合影留念，為此次交流劃下圓滿的句點。
During the subsequent discussion, delegation members invited Deputy Secretary General Chang and the legislators to visit Israel at a suitable time and encouraged more Taiwanese to experience Israel’s rich tourism resources and unique cultural heritage. Both sides also exchanged views on a wide range of topics, including the political and economic situations in Taiwan and Israel, the promotion of bilateral investment, technological innovation, agricultural product supply, and academic and cultural exchanges. The meeting lasted about 60 minutes in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. It concluded with the exchange of commemorative gifts and a group photo, marking a successful and fruitful conclusion to the visit.
