Chiang of the Legislative Yuan receive a bipartisan U.S. Senate delegation led by Jeanne Shaheen, Democratic Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and Republican Senator John Curtis, a fellow Committee member; President Han: Taiwan and the United States can join hands to become a force for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific
立法院韓國瑜院長於本（3月31）日下午在江啟臣副院長、國民黨牛煦庭委員、民進黨陳冠廷委員、民眾黨王安祥委員等人陪同下，接見美國聯邦參議員夏欣（Jeanne Shaheen）、參議員匡希恆（John Curtis）、參議員羅珊（Jacky Rosen）及參議員堤里斯（Thom Tillis）等一行。
On the afternoon of March 31, President Daniel K.Y. Han (韓國瑜) of the Legislative Yuan, accompanied by Vice President Dr. Johnny C. Chiang (江啟臣), KMT Legislator Niu Hsu-Ting, DPP Legislator Chen Kuan-Ting, and TPP Legislator Dr. Wang An-Hsiang, received a delegation including U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen, John Curtis, Jacky Rosen, and Thom Tillis, among others.
韓院長首先歡迎訪團蒞臨，繼表示台灣在世界地圖上猶如一顆雞蛋般的渺小，但是內部生命力旺盛且五彩繽紛。他強調支持「國防、外交、僑胞」是立法院跨黨派共同的三大目標，並回顧歷史指出，台灣人感念美國自前總統杜魯門（Harry S. Truman）在1950年代韓戰期間派遣第七艦隊巡防台灣海峽，76年來持續協助台灣維護國防安全。
President Han began by warmly welcoming the delegation. He remarked that, although Taiwan may appear small on the world map like an egg, it is full of vitality and rich in diversity. He stressed that support for national defense, diplomacy, and overseas Taiwanese communities are three shared priorities across party lines in the Legislative Yuan. Looking back at historical events, he noted that the people of Taiwan remain deeply grateful to the United States for dispatching the Seventh Fleet to patrol the Taiwan Strait during the Korean War in the 1950s under former President Harry S. Truman. In the 76 years since, he noted, the United States has continued to assist Taiwan in maintaining its defense and security.
韓院長續謂，教育界常表示「教育代表一切」、能源界則說「能源代表一切」、警界會說「治安代表一切」；對國會議員而言，國家安全則代表一切。韓院長強調，立法院各政黨均全力支持台灣國安需求，也期盼訪團回國後能繼續支持台灣。
President Han went on to say that those in education often say that “education is everything,” those in the energy sector say that “energy is everything,” and those in law enforcement say that “public safety is everything.” For legislators, however, national security is everything. He emphasized that all political parties in the Legislative Yuan fully support Taiwan’s national security needs and expressed the hope that the delegation would continue to support Taiwan after returning home.
江副院長感謝美方長期在國防與經貿等領域與台灣合作，並憶及1979年美國國會通過《台灣關係法》，為台美各層面的合作奠定長期發展的基石。針對國防議題，各黨派將透過持續溝通，努力達成共識，展現台灣自我防衛的決心。
Vice President Chiang thanked the United States for its longstanding collaborations with Taiwan in such areas as national defense and economic and trade affairs. He also recalled the passage of the Taiwan Relations Act by the U.S. Congress in 1979, which laid the foundation for the long-term development of Taiwan-U.S. cooperation across various fields. On defense-related issues, he stated that all parties would continue communicating and working toward a consensus to demonstrate Taiwan’s determination to strengthen its self-defense capabilities.
訪團共同團長夏欣參議員表示，十分榮幸能與立法院跨黨派委員針對至關重要的國防議題深入交流。她強調，支持台灣是美國長期以來的跨黨派共識，在應對日益嚴峻的全球挑戰之際，強健的國家安全與外交政策是維持穩定的基石，美國也將持續堅定支持台灣。
Co-head of the delegation Senator Jeanne Shaheen stated that it was a great honor to engage in in-depth discussions with cross-party legislators of the Legislative Yuan on this critically important defense issue. She emphasized that support for Taiwan has long been a bipartisan consensus in the United States. At a time of increasingly severe global challenges, she noted, strong national security and foreign policy are the cornerstones of stability, and the United States will continue to stand firmly behind Taiwan.
共同團長匡希恆參議員以流利的中文感謝立法院撥冗接待，並憶及1979年居住在台中的往事，樂見台灣的民主蓬勃發展，也非常高興能再次回到台灣，與老朋友見面。
Co-head of the delegation Senator John Curtis thanked the Legislative Yuan in fluent Mandarin for taking the time to receive the delegation. He also recalled living in Taichung in 1979, said he was pleased to see Taiwan’s democracy thriving, and expressed his delight at returning to Taiwan and seeing old friends again.
雙邊交流時，牛煦庭委員分享立法院審議國防預算的程序，也期待與訪團就近期各界關注議題進行實質討論。
During the exchange, Legislator Niu outlined the Legislative Yuan’s procedures for examining the national defense budget and expressed hope for substantive discussions with the delegation on issues that have recently attracted broad public attention.
陳冠廷委員表示身為國防外交委員召委，將傾力推動國防特別預算條例的審議工作，以強化台灣的國防安全。
Legislator Chen stated that, as convener of the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee, he would spare no effort to advance the examination of the special defense budget bill in order to strengthen Taiwan’s national security.
王安祥委員則重申民眾黨的對外政策，表示堅定支持國家安全，並竭誠歡迎訪問團蒞臨立法院進行交流。
Legislator Wang reiterated the TPP’s foreign policy position, affirming its firm support for national security and extending a warm welcome to the delegation on its visit to the Legislative Yuan.
雙方續就立法院議案審議流程、黨團協商、軍購交付期程等議題廣泛交換意見，此次拜會歷約1小時，氣氛熱絡友好，訪團亦感謝韓院長特別準備珍珠奶茶接待，讓其等在離台前，有機會品嚐台灣道地的珍珠奶茶。此次會晤在雙方互贈紀念品及合影後圓滿結束。 (2026/03/31)
The two sides went on to exchange views on such topics as the Legislative Yuan’s bill examination procedures, inter-caucus negotiations, and the delivery schedule for military procurement. The meeting lasted approximately one hour and was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Members of the delegation also thanked President Han for specially preparing bubble tea, which gave them the opportunity to enjoy an authentic Taiwanese beverage before departing Taiwan. The meeting concluded successfully after the two sides exchanged commemorative gifts and took a group photo. (2026/03/31)
