立法院韓國瑜院長於本（4月1）日上午10時，在江啟臣副院長、「中華民國與英國國會聯誼會」副會長許宇甄委員、民進黨王定宇委員、民眾黨陳昭姿委員、外交部葛葆萱常務次長等人陪同下，接見由「台英國會小組」（APPG）主席羅根勳爵（Lord Rogan）上議員所率「台英國會小組」一行9人。
At 10:00 a.m. on April 1, Legislative Yuan President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜), accompanied by Vice President Dr. Johnny C. Chiang (江啟臣), KMT Legislator and Vice President of the ROC-UK Inter-Parliamentary Amity Association Hsu Yu-Chen, DPP Legislator Dr. Wang Ting-Yu, TPP Legislator Chen Gau-Tzu, and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ger Bau-Shuan, received a nine-member delegation from the British-Taiwanese All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), led by Chair Lord Rogan, a Member of the House of Lords.
韓院長首先向訪賓表達誠摯歡迎，並向訪賓一行介紹，有別於英國國會，立法院為單一國會制，由113席立法委員代表全體國民的民意，今天特別邀請副院長及三黨代表與訪團會晤，盼持續深化雙邊國會交流。院長繼提及英國的人文藝術及民主發展深刻影響著世界，例如亞瑟王的王者之劍、英國前首相邱吉爾的雪茄、哈利波特的魔杖等，分別象徵英國的統御力、堅毅精神以及人文藝術的軟實力。院長亦盛讚英國發展逾百年的優秀外交政策，並引用土耳其國父凱末爾（Mustafa Kemal Atatürk）將軍的名言，強調若在外交領域遇到難以決策的問題，應選擇追隨英國的腳步，顯示對英國外交政策的肯定。院長最後再次感謝「台英國會小組」此行訪台，期盼與英國在各領域加強合作，共同為印太區域的安全、自由、開放與繁榮作出更大貢獻。
President Han first extended a warm welcome to the delegation and noted that, unlike the UK Parliament, Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan is a unicameral body. It is composed of 113 legislators representing the will of the people. He added that the Vice President and representatives from the three major political parties had been invited to join the meeting in order to further deepen parliamentary exchanges between Taiwan and the United Kingdom. He then went on to highlight the profound global influence of the United Kingdom’s cultural heritage and democratic development, citing symbolic examples such as King Arthur’s sword, former Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s cigar, and wands from Harry Potter, which respectively represent Britain’s leadership, resilience, and cultural soft power. He also praised the United Kingdom’s distinguished foreign policies developed over more than a century, quoting General Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founding father of modern Turkey, who advised that when faced with difficult foreign policy decisions, one should follow the United Kingdom’s lead—underscoring his high regard for British diplomacy. In closing, President Han once again thanked the APPG delegation for visiting Taiwan and expressed hope for closer cooperation across all sectors, so that Taiwan and the United Kingdom can jointly contribute to greater security, freedom, openness, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.
「台英國會小組」主席羅根勳爵上議員首先感謝韓院長、江副院長及委員的熱情接待，他已數度造訪台灣，但訪團成員多為首度訪台，對於台灣蓬勃的社會及人情味留下良好印象。羅根勳爵上議員特別提及台灣經濟成長率高達8%、失業率低至3％，並生產全球6成的晶片與95%的高階晶片，對於台灣在全球扮演的關鍵角色印象深刻，此次偕跨黨派議員來訪，希望返國後能向更多英國國會議員介紹台灣的重要性及影響力，並在國際社會上持續支持台灣的國際參與，包含「世界衛生組織」（WHO）及「國際刑警組織」（INTERPOL）等，將積極為台灣在國際社會發聲。
Lord Rogan, Chair of the APPG, expressed his gratitude to President Han, Vice President Chiang, and the attending legislators for their warm hospitality. While he has visited Taiwan several times before, many members of the delegation were visiting for the first time and were deeply impressed by Taiwan’s vibrant society and hospitality. Lord Rogan highlighted Taiwan’s strong economic performance, noting a growth rate of 8 percent and an unemployment rate as low as 3 percent. He also pointed out that Taiwan produces 60 percent of the world’s chips and 95 percent of advanced chips, underscoring its critical role in the global economy. Leading a cross-party delegation on this visit, he expressed his intention to share Taiwan’s importance and influence with more members of the UK Parliament upon returning home. He further affirmed continued support for Taiwan’s participation in the international community, including organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), and pledged to actively speak up for Taiwan on the global stage.
江副院長致詞時首先歡迎訪團一行來到台灣。他表示，曾有8年（2016-2024）時間擔任立法院「台灣－英國國會議員交流協會」會長，上（2025）年9月亦曾訪問英國，停留時間雖短暫，但卻會晤許多重要的英國國會友台議員，深刻體認到台英國會互動對強化雙邊友好關係助益良多。繼稱，英國大規模投入台灣離岸風電的開發，期盼未來能持續拓展經貿、文化、教育、科技及安全等領域的合作，以進一步提升雙邊關係，並深化民主價值與全球夥伴關係。
Vice President Chiang began his remarks by welcoming the delegation to Taiwan. He noted that he had served for eight years (2016–2024) as President of the Taiwan-UK Inter-Parliamentary Amity Association, and that during his visit to the United Kingdom in September 2025, despite a short trip, he had met with many key pro-Taiwan members of the UK Parliament. This experience reinforced his belief that parliamentary engagement plays a vital role in strengthening bilateral ties. He further pointed out that the United Kingdom has made significant investments in Taiwan’s offshore wind energy sector, and expressed hope for continued expansion of cooperation in areas such as trade, culture, education, technology, and security, in order to further enhance bilateral relations and deepen shared democratic values and global partnerships.
許宇甄委員感謝英國政府長期對維護台海穩定的支持，非常榮幸代表國民黨團歡迎英國國會的好朋友，期待在台英《提升貿易夥伴關係協議》（ETP）框架下，持續發展《臺英ETP數位貿易協議》、《臺英ETP能源與淨零排放協議》及《臺英ETP投資協議》三項子協議，並期盼在多變的地緣政治中，推動彼此穩健的經濟成長，同時協助我達成2050年淨零排放的政策目標。
Legislator Hsu expressed appreciation for the UK government’s longstanding support for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait. Representing the KMT caucus, she said it was an honor to welcome friends from the UK Parliament. She expressed hope that under the framework of the Enhanced Trade Partnership (ETP), Taiwan and the United Kingdom will continue to advance three sub-agreements: the Taiwan-UK ETP Digital Trade Agreement, the Taiwan-UK ETP Energy and Net-Zero Agreement, and the Taiwan-UK ETP Investment Agreement. She also voiced hope that, amid an evolving geopolitical landscape, both sides can promote steady economic growth while supporting Taiwan’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
王定宇委員提及，台英兩國有著許多相似之處，同樣應對著海島國家的挑戰，並緊鄰大陸區域，但雙方共享民主、平權、自由等普世價值，相信台英雙邊的合作交流能為全世界和平穩定帶來更多幫助，也感謝英國長期對台海和平穩定的支持與協助。
Legislator Wang noted that Taiwan and the United Kingdom share many similarities, both facing challenges from being island nations and their geographic proximity to continental powers. At the same time, both uphold universal values such as democracy, equality, and freedom. He expressed confidence that strengthened Taiwan-UK cooperation will contribute to global peace and stability and thanked the United Kingdom for its longstanding support for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
陳昭姿委員表示，身為立法委員她最重要的任務之一便是在台灣推動代理孕母合法化。英國自1978年首位試管嬰兒誕生後，在生殖醫學上具領先地位，建立以「利他」為原則的代理孕母制度，台灣的立法草案亦參考英國制度。陳委員另特別表示，身為「對中政策跨國議會聯盟」（Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, IPAC）台灣共同主席，感謝英國國會2024年對聯合國2758號決議未決定台灣地位的立場說明，有助提升台灣國際能見度，感謝英國國會對台灣國際地位的支持。
Legislator Chen stated that one of her key priorities as a legislator is to promote the legalization of surrogacy in Taiwan. She noted that since the birth of the world’s first IVF baby in the United Kingdom in 1978, the UK has been a leader in reproductive medicine and has established an altruism-based surrogacy system, which Taiwan has drawn upon in its own legislative proposals. She also added that, as Co-Chair of the Taiwan chapter of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), she appreciates the UK Parliament’s 2024 statement clarifying that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 does not determine Taiwan’s status. She noted that this has helped raise Taiwan’s international visibility, and expressed gratitude for the UK Parliament’s support for Taiwan’s international standing.
雙方隨後就高齡化社會、社會韌性、台灣國際參與、英國民主發展、能源供給與能源安全、雙邊經貿合作等議題進行廣泛交流，此次會談歷時約60分鐘，氣氛誠摯友好，在互贈紀念品後圓滿結束。（2026/04/01）
The two sides then engaged in extensive discussions on a wide range of issues, including aging societies, social resilience, Taiwan’s international participation, the development of democracy in the United Kingdom, energy supply and security, and bilateral economic and trade cooperation. The meeting lasted approximately 60 minutes and concluded on a cordial and friendly note with an exchange of commemorative gifts. (2026/04/01)
