Chiang meets with six-member delegation led by Senator José Luis Pérez Oyuela, former Chairman of the Colombian Senate’s Foreign Affairs Committee; Vice President Chiang: Taiwan and Colombia enjoy strong industrial complementarity, offering great potential for economic, trade, and parliamentary cooperation.
On the afternoon of September 25, Legislative Yuan Vice President Dr. Johnny C. Chiang (江啟臣) met with a six-member delegation led by Senator José Luis Pérez Oyuela, former Chairman of the Colombian Senate’s Foreign Affairs Committee. He was accompanied by KMT Legislator Dr. Hsieh Yi-Fong, DPP Legislator Dr. Wang Cheng-Hsu, Deputy Minister Chen Ming-Chi of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), and Deputy Director-General Lu Chao-Jui of MOFA’s Department of Latin American and Caribbean Affairs.
江副院長首先代表立法院及韓國瑜院長，向團長培瑞茲參議員及全體訪團成員表達最誠摯的歡迎。他感謝培瑞茲參議員多年來長期擔任「國會友臺小組」總協調人，並曾任參議院外交委員會主席，始終展現對臺灣的堅定支持。他指出，此次訪團成員涵蓋多位重量級參、眾議員，象徵哥倫比亞國會對臺灣的高度重視與深厚情誼。江副院長並強調，雖然臺灣與哥倫比亞地理相距遙遠，卻因咖啡、花卉及農業產品而緊密連結；臺灣每年自哥國進口大量優質咖啡，兩國同為太平洋沿岸國家，並共享自由、民主與人權的核心價值，這些共同點為雙邊在政府、國會與民間合作奠定堅實基礎。江副院長提及咖啡時，培瑞茲參議員並致贈哥倫比亞優質咖啡豆，象徵兩國人民日常生活的緊密聯繫，場面溫馨熱絡。
In his remarks, Vice President Chiang first sincerely welcomed the delegation on behalf of the Legislative Yuan and its President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜). He expressed gratitude to Senator Pérez Oyuela for his long-standing support of Taiwan during his tenure as Chief Coordinator of the Columbia-Taiwan Parliamentary Friendship Group and as Chairman of the Colombian Senate’s Foreign Affairs Committee. Vice President Chiang noted that the delegation includes several influential senators and representatives, reflecting the Colombian parliament’s strong commitment and friendship toward Taiwan. He said that despite the geographical distance, Taiwan and Colombia are closely connected through coffee, flowers, and agricultural products: Taiwan imports significant volumes of high-quality Colombian coffee each year; as Pacific nations that share the core values of freedom, democracy, and human rights, both countries enjoy a solid foundation for cooperation among their governments, parliaments, and peoples. When Vice President Chiang mentioned the importance of coffee, Senator Pérez Oyuela presented him with premium Colombian coffee beans—a warm gesture symbolizing the close ties between the everyday lives of the two peoples.
江副院長進一步指出，哥倫比亞擁有豐富天然資源、龐大市場與地理優勢，是中南美洲重要國家；持續拓展交流不僅有助雙邊經貿發展，更能推動農業、能源、醫療、教育及文化等領域合作。他期盼兩國國會成為人民交流的重要橋梁，透過國會外交推動實質合作，讓臺哥關係更加緊密，並誠摯盼望訪團此行能加深對臺灣社會文化的瞭解，帶回臺灣人民的熱情與友誼，轉化為具體合作成果。
Vice President Chiang further remarked that Colombia, rich in natural resources, endowed with a large market, and strategically located, is an important nation in Latin America. He added that extending bilateral exchanges between Taiwan and Colombia will not only enhance economic and trade development but also expand mutual cooperation in agriculture, energy, healthcare, education, and culture. He expressed hope that the legislatures of both countries will serve as vital bridges for people-to-people exchanges, using parliamentary diplomacy to advance substantive cooperation and bring the bilateral relationship even closer. Vice President Chiang further expressed his hope that the delegation would gain deeper insights into Taiwan’s society and culture through their visit, and that they would bring back the hospitality and friendship of the Taiwanese people, transforming these into tangible cooperation in the future.
培瑞茲參議員致詞時，感謝江副院長與立法院的熱情接待，並回顧其連續11年推動友臺小組工作，始終將臺灣視為中南美洲最重要的合作夥伴之一。他盛讚臺灣在民主鞏固、經濟發展與科技創新上的成就，並提及臺灣在農業技術、獎學金教育、醫療協助及疫情期間的支持，長期深獲哥國人民肯定。此行除推動雙邊貿易升溫、擴大文化交流之外，更期盼未來能恢復於臺北設立哥倫比亞辦事處，以加強務實合作與人員往來，並期待不久後迎接我國國會訪問團赴哥倫比亞交流，共同為臺哥關係注入新動能。
Senator Pérez Oyuela began by expressing gratitude for the warm reception and recalled his 11 years of leading the Columbia-Taiwan Parliamentary Friendship Group, during which he consistently regarded Taiwan as one of Latin America’s most important partners. Senator Pérez Oyuela praised Taiwan’s achievements in democratic development, economic growth, and technological innovation; he also acknowledged Taiwan’s long-standing contributions to Colombia in agricultural technology, scholarship programs, medical assistance, and steadfast support during the COVID-19 pandemic—all of which have been greatly appreciated by the Colombian public. Beyond enhancing trade and expanding cultural exchanges, Senator Pérez Oyuela expressed hope for the reinstatement of a Colombian office in Taipei to facilitate practical cooperation and people-to-people contact. He added that he looks forward to welcoming a Taiwanese parliamentary delegation to Colombia in the near future to inject new momentum into bilateral relations.
訪團成員亦提及，臺哥雙邊貿易額持續成長，2024年已達5億美元，較2023年成長8%，2025年更促成逾百件合作案，展現高度互補性；並盛讚臺灣逾八成的投票率，展現蓬勃民主活力；以及臺灣雖僅有2300萬人口，卻掌握全球超過六成半導體產能，足見其規劃遠見與發展成就。另有議員指出，哥倫比亞豐富的天然資源與臺灣領先的智慧醫療及人工智慧技術可相互結合，共創南半球高科技合作新局。
One member from the delegation noted that bilateral trade between Taiwan and Colombia continues to grow, reaching USD 500 million in 2024, an 8% increase from 2023; in addition, more than 100 cooperation projects have already been facilitated for 2025, underscoring the strong complementarity between the two economies. Another delegate praised Taiwan’s democratic vitality, reflected in its voter turnout of over 80%, and highlighted Taiwan’s global leadership in semiconductor manufacturing, producing more than 60% of the world’s chips despite its population of only 23 million. The delegation noted that these achievements demonstrate Taiwan’s foresight and remarkable development. One delegate also added that Colombia’s abundant natural resources combined with Taiwan’s leading smart-healthcare and AI technologies could jointly create new opportunities for high-tech cooperation in the Southern Hemisphere.
謝衣鳯委員致詞時，表達對訪賓的感謝。她回顧自身長期於經濟委員會的經驗，特別看好雙邊在石油、紡織、化學品、咖啡及經貿議題上的合作潛力，希望此次會面能增進彼此認識，並深化合作交流。
Legislator Hsieh thanked the delegation for their visit and, drawing from her rich experience on the Economics Committee, emphasized the strong potential for cooperation between Taiwan and Colombia in petroleum, textiles, chemicals, and coffee, as well as economic and trade issues. She expressed hope that the meeting will help both sides gain a deeper mutual understanding and further strengthen avenues for cooperation and exchange.
王正旭委員則以其醫療背景，對哥國醫療資源之充沛及社會保險醫療改革表示關注。他指出，臺灣與哥倫比亞皆舉辦國際醫療展，期許雙方互相參與及觀摩學習，並展望在醫療器材、公共衛生及醫療技術領域展開更多交流合作。
Legislator Wang, speaking from his medical background, highlighted Colombia’s abundant healthcare resources and social insurance medical reform. He noted that both Taiwan and Colombia host international medical exhibitions, expressing hope that the two sides will participate in each other’s events and learn from one another. He also looked forward to expanded cooperation in medical equipment, public health, and medical technology.
雙方並就強化經貿往來、民主活力、半導體產業、人工智慧、醫療發展及天然資源等議題廣泛交換意見。會晤歷時約70分鐘，氣氛熱絡友好，最後江副院長致贈訪賓紀念品並合影留念，為此次交流劃下圓滿句點。
The two sides then engaged in extensive discussions on topics including strengthening economic and trade ties, democratic development, the semiconductor industry, artificial intelligence, healthcare advancement, and natural resources. The meeting lasted about 70 minutes and took place in a warm and cordial atmosphere. Vice President Chiang concluded the meeting by presenting commemorative gifts and taking a group photo with the delegation, marking a successful end to the visit.
