立法院韓國瑜院長於本(10月20)日晚間在陳永康委員以及僑務委員會徐佳青委員長、李姸慧副委員長、張良民副委員長等人陪同下，主持在臺北圓山大飯店舉辦的114年僑務委員會議「立法院院長晚宴」。
On the evening of October 20, Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜) hosted the Legislative Yuan President’s Banquet for the 2025 General Assembly of Council Members of the Overseas Community Affairs Council (OCAC) at the Grand Hotel Taipei. The event was attended by KMT Legislator Adm. Chen Yeong-Kang, OCAC Minister Hsu Chia-Ching, OCAC Deputy Minister Lee Yen-Hui, and OCAC Vice Minister Chang Liang-Ming, among others.
韓院長在徐委員長的引言後致詞表示，很榮幸今晚能與各位齊聚一堂，共同參與114年僑務委員會議立法院晚宴。院長首先提及，英國素有「日不落國」之稱，而臺灣則擁有「日不落臺商及僑胞」 ，只要陽光所照之處，皆可見臺商和僑胞的足跡。
Following Minister Hsu’s introductory remarks, President Han delivered his address, saying he was honored to join everyone at the Legislative Yuan banquet for the 2025 General Assembly of Council Members of the OCAC. He noted that while the United Kingdom is often called “the empire on which the sun never sets,” Taiwan likewise has “businesspeople and overseas compatriots present wherever the sun shines.”
韓院長繼謂，僑胞朋友是臺灣最親密的家人，並以螞蟻實驗妙喻僑胞每次在家鄉需要幫助的時候，總是第一時間迅速動員，團結一心、出錢出力，從最近的花蓮堰塞湖災情，到花蓮強震、太魯閣號事故及雲林、嘉義、臺南的災後重建，處處看到僑胞朋友慷慨捐輸，齊心協力幫助故鄉度過難關。院長特別回顧新冠疫情期間，海外臺商短時間內自費籌措兩百萬片口罩馳援國內，真切情誼令人感佩。
President Han went on to emphasize that overseas compatriots are Taiwan’s closest family members. Using an ant experiment as a vivid metaphor, he remarked that whenever their homeland is in need, overseas compatriots are always the first to mobilize swiftly, standing united and contributing both financial and practical support. He added that from the recent barrier lake disaster in Hualien, to the major Hualien earthquake, the Taroko Express train accident, and post-disaster reconstruction efforts in Yunlin, Chiayi, and Tainan, overseas compatriots have consistently demonstrated remarkable generosity and solidarity in helping their homeland overcome adversity. President Han also recalled that during the COVID-19 pandemic, overseas Taiwanese businesspeople raised two million face masks at their own expense within a short period to support Taiwan—an act of genuine affection that deeply moved the nation.
韓院長表示，每次與各位僑胞朋友交流，內心都備感溫暖，強調縱有意見分歧，也請各位記得「眼中不分藍綠白，心中只有臺灣情」。
President Han stated that every interaction with overseas compatriots fills his heart with warmth. He stressed that even amid differing opinions, everyone should remember that “regardless of party affiliation, Taiwan is our sole focus.”
韓院長最後用一杯水酒代表立法院對所有僑胞朋友的敬重，並再次感謝大家的付出，期待未來能有更多的交流機會。臺灣永遠是所有海外僑胞的家，歡迎大家時常回家。祝福在座的每一位好朋友，都能闔家平安健康、事業順利。
In closing, President Han raised a glass on behalf of the Legislative Yuan to express its respect for all overseas compatriots. He once again thanked everyone for their contributions and expressed his hope for more opportunities for future exchanges. He emphasized that Taiwan will always be home to all overseas compatriots and warmly welcomed everyone to return often. He concluded by wishing all attendees peace, good health, and success in both family and career.
僑務委員代表熊強生致詞時感謝韓院長及陳永康委員在百忙中撥冗參加今晚的盛會，所有返臺的僑胞們也會竭盡所能，為政府提供海外第一線的觀察心得，以及對未來僑務工作的建言；近年來，國際局勢劇烈變動，臺灣能獲得國際社會的認可絕非偶然，都是大家一步一腳印的累積。熊代表更邀請院長及外交及國防委員會的委員們，有機會到海外實際走訪，以更瞭解僑務工作，繼續支持海外僑胞朋友，一同鞏固臺灣的國際地位。
In his remarks, OCAC representative Johnson Hsiung thanked President Han and Legislator Chen Yong-Kang for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend the evening’s event. He stated that overseas compatriots returning to Taiwan would spare no effort in providing the government with firsthand observations from abroad, as well as constructive recommendations for future overseas community affairs. Amid dramatic changes in the international landscape in recent years, Taiwan’s recognition by the international community, he noted, has not come by chance but is the result of the collective efforts built step by step over time. He also invited President Han and members of the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee to visit overseas communities in person when opportunities arise, in order to gain a deeper understanding of overseas community affairs, continue supporting overseas compatriots, and work together to strengthen Taiwan’s international standing.
韓院長在與熊僑務委員代表互贈紀念品後，旋即展開晚宴，席間韓院長偕同陳永康委員及徐委員長等逐一向各桌僑務委員敬酒並獻上祝福，氣氛溫馨、熱絡，晚宴歷約2小時，在愉快的氣氛中劃下圓滿句點。
Following the exchange of commemorative gifts between President Han and Representative Hsiung, the banquet formally commenced. During the event, President Han, accompanied by Legislator Chen and Minister Hsu, visited each table to offer toasts and convey his best wishes to the council members. The banquet lasted approximately two hours, concluding on a high note amid a lively and joyful ambiance.
