Han of the Legislative Yuan and his delegation meet with Representative Tamaki Yuichiro of Japan’s Democratic Party for the People (DPFP); President Han: The Legislative Yuan highly values parliamentary exchanges with the Japanese Diet and looks forward to closer cooperation.
立法院韓國瑜院長於日本時間9月26日下午3時30分，率領立法院跨黨派委員代表團一行11人，在駐日大使李逸洋陪同下，前往眾議院拜會「國民民主黨」黨代表玉木雄一郎，該黨11位參、眾議員出席盛情接待，雙方先互贈紀念禮品，隨後分別致詞，展現臺日國會交流的友好氛圍。
At 3:30 p.m. on September 26 (Japan time), President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜) of the Legislative Yuan led an eleven-member cross-party delegation of legislators, accompanied by Taiwan’s Representative to Japan Lee Yi-Yang, to visit the House of Representatives and meet with Representative Tamaki Yuichiro of Japan’s Democratic Party for the People (DPFP). Eleven Diet members from the DPFP, representing both the House of Councillors and the House of Representatives, were present to warmly receive the delegation. The two sides first exchanged commemorative gifts and subsequently delivered remarks, showcasing the friendly atmosphere of Taiwan–Japan parliamentary exchanges.
玉木代表首先致詞表示，感謝韓院長偕跨黨派委員於今年7月熱情接待國民民主黨青年局局長淺野哲眾議員率團蒞訪立法院；同時，該黨亦有四位國會議員正在臺灣訪問。他並提到於今年2月造訪臺灣，並與賴清德總統及各界友人深入交流，印象深刻。玉木代表強調，深化臺日關係是一項重要工作，今日能藉此場合與臺灣多位立法委員交換意見，深感欣慰，並期盼雙方攜手為提升臺日關係及區域和平共同努力。
Representative Tamaki began his remarks by thanking President Han and the cross-party legislators for the warm reception when Representative Asano Satoshi, Director of the Youth Division of the DPFP, led a delegation to visit the Legislative Yuan in July. He also noted that four Diet members from his party are currently visiting Taiwan. Representative Tamaki also mentioned his visit to Taiwan in February this year, during which he engaged in in-depth exchanges with President Lai Ching-Te and friends from various sectors, which left a deep impression on him. He stressed that deepening Taiwan-Japan relations is an important mission, and he expressed his great satisfaction at having this opportunity to exchange views with Taiwan’s legislators. He expressed his hope that both sides will work hand in hand to strengthen bilateral ties and contribute to regional peace.
玉木代表繼對臺灣花蓮光復鄉近期水災造嚴重死傷表達誠摯關懷與慰問。續指出，臺灣與日本同樣是天然災害頻仍的國家，他期盼日臺加強在防救災領域的交流與合作，共同提升雙邊防災韌性，同時進一步深化兩國實質友好關係。
Representative Tamaki also conveyed his sincere concern and condolences for the recent flooding in Guangfu Township, Hualien, which caused severe casualties. He noted that both Taiwan and Japan are countries frequently affected by natural disasters and expressed hope that the two sides would enhance exchanges and cooperation in disaster prevention and relief, jointly strengthen bilateral disaster resilience, and further deepen substantive friendly relations between the two countries.
韓院長接續致詞表示，首先感謝玉木代表對花蓮災情的慰問之意，將轉達當地鄉親來自日本國會的關懷與祝福。韓院長繼說明，立法院為單一國會制，共有113席，每位委員的代表性與影響力都極為重要。本次訪日代表團由三大黨團共同組成，國民黨派出洪孟楷、許宇甄、王鴻薇、翁曉玲及林倩綺5位委員；民進黨派出何欣純、王美惠、郭昱晴及莊瑞雄4位委員；民眾黨則由黃珊珊委員代表，以彰顯立法院跨黨派對本次訪日交流的高度重視。
President Han then delivered his remarks, first thanking Representative Tamaki for his kind condolences regarding the disaster in Hualien, and promised to convey the Japanese Diet’s concern and blessings to the local residents. President Han continued, explaining that the Legislative Yuan is a unicameral legislature with 113 seats, and the representativeness and influence of every legislator are critically important. He highlighted that this visiting delegation was composed of members from all three major party caucuses: the Kuomintang (KMT) sent Legislators Hung Mong-Kai, Hsu Yu-Chen, Wang Hung-Wei, Dr. Weng Hsiao-Ling, and Dr. Lin Chien-Chi (five in total);the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) sent Legislators Ho Hsin-Chun, Wang Mei-Hui, Kuo Yu-Ching, and Dr. Chuang Jui-Hsiung (four in total);and the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP) was represented by Legislator Huang Shan-Shan. This composition, added President Han, underscored the Legislative Yuan's high cross-party value placed on this exchange visit to Japan.
韓院長繼謂，看到「國民民主黨」諸位議員風光滿面，正如同國民民主黨所展現的精神一般。他並向玉木代表致賀，國民民主黨在去（2024）年眾議院改選中，席次由7席大幅成長至28席，成長幅度達4倍之多，另在今年參議院改選中，席次亦由9席擴增至22席，顯示「國民民主黨」自2020年創立以來，僅短短5年間便取得如此卓越成就，令人敬佩。
Continuing his remarks, President Han noted that the DPFP Diet members appeared vibrant and spirited, reflecting the energetic spirit of the party. He then congratulated Representative Tamaki, noting that the DPFP’ s seats in the House of Representatives grew from 7 to 28 in last year’s (2024) general election, a fourfold expansion. Seats in the House of Councillors also rose from 9 to 22 in this year’s election. Such growth, President Han said, demonstrates the party’s impressive progress in just five years since its founding in 2020.
韓院長續強調，根據日本臺灣交流協會於今年4月公布的最新民調顯示，在全球各國之中，有77%臺灣民眾最喜愛的國家是日本，而日本亦有高達77%的民眾對臺灣感到親近。院長提醒，身為國會議員，應深切體認這些數據對增進臺日友好關係所代表的重要意義。
Regarding public opinion, President Han highlighted the latest poll released by the Japan–Taiwan Exchange Association in April, which found that 77 percent of Taiwanese respondents named Japan as their favorite country among all nations, while an equally high 77 percent of Japanese respondents reported a sense of affinity for Taiwan. President Han reminded that as parliamentarians, we should deeply recognize the profound significance these figures represent for promoting the friendly relationship between Taiwan and Japan.
韓院長最後分享稱，身為民意代表切莫忘記選民的託付，能夠為人民服務是莫大的榮譽與責任，期許國會議員能以「對事以方，待人以圓」的處世原則，在政壇崗位持續有優異的表現，並盼立法院與日本國會建立更緊密的交流與合作。
President Han concluded by sharing his view that legislators must never forget the trust placed in them by their constituents, emphasizing that serving the people is both a great honor and responsibility. He encouraged the parliamentarians to continue performing excellently in their political roles by adhering to the principle of "handling matters with integrity and treating people with grace," and expressed his hope for even closer exchanges and cooperation between Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan and the Japanese Diet.
雙方國會議員交流熱絡並合影留念，氣氛融洽愉快，會晤歷約40分鐘圓滿結束。
Parliamentarians from both sides engaged in lively exchanges and took a group photo, concluding the cordial and pleasant meeting after approximately 40 minutes.
