On behalf of the Legislative Yuan, Vice President Chiang opened the meeting by extending a sincere welcome to the young political leaders from multiple European countries. He stated that the Legislative Yuan places great importance on exchanging ideas with parliaments and the younger generation of politicians from European countries. As the visit took place on the eve of Taiwan’s National Day, he added, it was of great symbolic significance. Vice President Chiang also cordially invited the guests to witness the vibrancy of Taiwan’s democracy.
江副院長指出，自己於上（9）月率立法院代表團訪問愛爾蘭、英國、荷蘭及捷克，分別拜會愛爾蘭副議長麥金尼斯（John McGuinness）、英國上議院副議長福克納勳爵（Lord Faulkner of Worcester）、捷克參眾兩院副議長德拉霍斯（Jiří Drahoš）及巴托賽克（Jan Bartošek），並與多位荷蘭國會議員進行交流。這是他自去年以來第四度率團赴歐，充分展現立法院推動國會外交的積極作為，也反映臺歐關係日益緊密。江副院長表示，臺歐關係不僅國會互動頻繁，人民往來亦日益深厚。雙方在文化、教育、科技、經貿與藝術等領域高度互補，更共享自由、民主、人權與法治等核心價值，這正是雙方深化合作的重要基礎。他肯定歐洲青年政治領袖的遠見與行動力，期盼未來持續推動臺歐交流，並祝福訪賓此行收穫豐碩，深入體驗臺灣社會的開放與民主精神。
He further noted that in September, he led a Legislative Yuan delegation to Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. The delegation met with Deputy Speaker John McGuinness of the Dáil Éireann (House of Representatives), Deputy Speaker Lord Faulkner of Worcester of the UK House of Lords, Czech Republic Senate First Vice-President Jiří Drahoš, and Deputy Speaker Jan Bartošek of the Czech Chamber of Deputies, and also held discussions with several members of the Dutch Parliament. Vice President Chiang noted that this was his fourth time leading a delegation to visit Europe since last year, clearly demonstrating the Legislative Yuan’s proactive effort in promoting parliamentary diplomacy and reflecting the increasingly close ties between Taiwan and Europe. He stated that Taiwan and Europe not only have frequent engagement at the parliamentary level but also at the civic level. The two sides are highly complementary in culture, education, technology, economy and trade, as well as the arts, while sharing core values such as freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. These form the crucial foundation for deepening bilateral cooperation. Vice President Chiang commended the vision and initiative of Europe’s young political leaders, expressing hope for continued exchanges between Taiwan and Europe in the future. He also wished the delegation a rewarding visit and an in-depth experience of Taiwan’s open and democratic spirit.
艾墨里市長致詞表示，此行象徵歐洲對臺灣的堅定承諾，也展現雙邊深化合作的決心。當前全球面臨經濟與社會動盪等嚴峻挑戰，唯有持續的對話與夥伴合作，方能共克時艱。他表示，親眼見證臺灣在科技、民主與人權領域的卓越成就，深信臺灣的繁榮與文化活力將持續為區域和平與穩定注入力量。艾墨里市長並分享自身來自義大利蘇特里（Sutri）市的文化背景，指出該市歷史悠久、底蘊深厚，象徵歐洲的文化根源與身分認同。他強調，期盼以文化交流為橋樑，促進臺歐間更緊密的互動與理解，並期待雙方未來開創更多合作契機。
In his remarks, Mayor Amori stated that the visit represents Europe’s steadfast commitment to Taiwan and demonstrates both sides’ resolve to strengthen cooperation. As the world faces severe challenges such as economic and social upheaval, he said, only sustained dialogue and partnership can help address the shared concerns. He noted that having witnessed firsthand Taiwan’s extraordinary achievements in technology, democracy, and human rights, he firmly believes that Taiwan’s prosperity and cultural vitality will continue to contribute to peace and stability in the region. Mayor Amori further shared his cultural background from Sutri, Italy, noting its rich history and profound heritage as a symbol of Europe's cultural roots and identity. He stressed his hope that cultural exchanges would serve as bridges to foster closer interactions and deeper mutual understanding between Taiwan and Europe. He also looked forward to more opportunities for cooperation in the future.
葛如鈞委員表示，自己長期關注電腦科學、人工智慧（AI）與區塊鏈等新興科技，並致力推動我國AI立法。臺灣在晶片與半導體製造領域居全球領先地位，但AI政策仍屬起步階段，期盼能借鏡歐盟《AI法案》（AI Act）及各國經驗，加速法制建構。葛委員強調，臺灣應與歐洲攜手推動人工智慧、資安、能源與太空科技等合作，促進人才與政策交流。他指出，科技應服務人類、結合文化，讓臺灣在兼顧創新與人文的同時，成為具社會韌性並為區域和平作出貢獻的國家。
Legislator Ko stated that he has long focused on emerging technologies such as computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain, and has been dedicated to promoting legislation of AI in Taiwan. While Taiwan holds a global leading position in chip and semiconductor manufacturing, its AI policy is still at an early stage. Legislator Ko hoped to draw on the EU’s AI Act and the experiences of other countries to accelerate the establishment of a legal framework. He emphasized that Taiwan should join hands with Europe in areas such as AI, cybersecurity, energy, and space technology to foster exchanges in talent and policy, and pointed out that technology should serve humanity and be integrated with culture. He hoped Taiwan can become a socially resilient nation contributing to regional peace while balancing innovation and the humanities.
張雅琳委員表示，期盼訪賓此行收穫豐富，返國後持續推動臺歐交流與合作。她說，自己曾任非政府組織工作者近十年，長期關注兒少權益與青年公共參與，現於立法院專注教育、文化、體育、轉型正義與氣候變遷等議題。張委員指出，假訊息滲透日益嚴重，臺灣除面臨中國資訊戰威脅，也觀察到來自俄羅斯的干擾，呼籲臺歐強化合作、分享經驗，共同守護民主韌性。
Legislator Tiunn expressed hope that the delegation would gain valuable insights from this trip and continue advancing exchanges and cooperation between Taiwan and Europe after their return. She noted that she has spent nearly a decade working in non-governmental organizations and has long focused on children and youth rights, as well as youth participation in public affairs. She added that as a legislator, she focuses on issues related to education, culture, sports, transitional justice, and climate change. Legislator Tiunn pointed out that the infiltration of disinformation has become increasingly severe. Taiwan not only faces the threat of China's information warfare but has also observed interference from Russia. She called for strengthened cooperation and the sharing of experience between Taiwan and Europe to jointly safeguard democratic resilience.
林憶君委員表示，臺歐雖相隔遙遠，但在經貿往來與價值理念上緊密相連，雙方同樣堅信民主、自由、人權與法治等普世價值。她感謝歐洲各國長期支持臺灣參與國際組織與多邊合作，讓臺灣人民深受感動。林委員強調，青年是改變世界的重要力量，歐洲青年政治領袖以創新思維與熱忱行動投入公共事務，將成為推動歐洲政壇改革與全球民主發展的關鍵動能。她期盼藉由此次訪問，促進歐洲與臺灣新世代政治工作者之間的交流與友誼，共同為全球民主與和平繁榮努力。
Legislator Lin noted that although Taiwan and Europe are geographically distant, they are closely connected through economic ties and shared values. She added that both sides share a steadfast commitment to the universal values of democracy, freedom, human rights, and the rule of law. She thanked countries across Europe for their long-standing support for Taiwan’s participation in international organizations and multilateral cooperation, which has deeply moved the people of Taiwan. Legislator Lin emphasized that youth are a vital force for changing the world. She stated that young European political leaders engage in public affairs with innovative thinking and passionate action, becoming a key driving force for political reform in Europe and the development of democracy worldwide. She hoped that the visit will strengthen the exchange and friendship between the new generation of political leaders in Europe and Taiwan, enabling them to work together for global democracy, peace, and prosperity.
雙方隨後就資訊戰、核能政策及人工智慧立法等議題廣泛交換意見。此次會晤歷時約一小時，氣氛融洽熱絡，最後在互贈紀念禮品與合影留念中圓滿結束。
Afterwards, both sides engaged in extensive discussions on a wide range of topics including information warfare, nuclear energy policies, and the legislation of AI.
