蔡英文 Tsai Ing-wen

Taiwan LGBT+ Pride Week is a celebration of how far #Taiwan has come & of all those people who worked so hard to deliver greater freedom & equality. And it is a reminder that our work is never over, as every generation should be able to live as their true selves.

Grateful for a deeply engaging time with Stanford University's @HooverInst. Speaking with students & fellows, my core message was that #Taiwan's democratic resilience comes from our unity & collective spirit, in spite of any differences of opinion we may have.

A pleasure to meet former Secretary of State @CondoleezzaRice at the @HooverInst.
I deeply admire Secretary Rice's dedication to global democracy, as this is the only form of government we have that can truly reflect the will of the people.

At Stanford DEFCON, I spoke about enhancing cooperation to bolster our shared security at this critical time. Peace requires partnership, & #Taiwan, with unmatched industrial strengths, is uniquely placed to partner with international friends in pursuit of this goal.

An honor to speak at Stanford DEFCON 2026. Today, democracies are under tremendous pressure. Withstanding this & upholding our democratic way of life will take the efforts of all of society to strengthen trust & resilience. Defense & deterrence are properties of an entire nation.
