(Central News Agency reporter Chen Yun-yu, London, 13th) Legislative Yuan President Han Kuo-yu led a cross-party legislative delegation, arriving in London on the 13th. In the evening, a banquet was held to foster exchanges with Taiwanese businesspeople and expatriates in the UK, with approximately 80 people attending in a lively atmosphere.
In his opening remarks, Han Kuo-yu mentioned that in the 19th century, Britain was an "empire on which the sun never sets." Today, in the 21st century, Taiwan can proudly say that it has "Taiwanese businesspeople on whom the sun never sets," meaning that Taiwanese entrepreneurs are striving and cultivating their businesses all over the world.
Han Kuo-yu said that decades ago, Taiwan was not as prominent internationally as it is now. However, since serving as the President of the Legislative Yuan for over two years, he and Vice President Chiang Chi-chen have received an endless stream of foreign dignitaries, with the number approaching 9,000, setting a new record for the Legislative Yuan. Han Kuo-yu emphasized that Taiwan receives considerable attention, which is the result of the hard work and dedication of the Taiwanese people.
Taiwan boasts world-leading semiconductor and technology industries, strong small and medium-sized enterprises, and first-class healthcare, among others. Han Kuo-yu stated that these are important achievements of the Taiwanese people, but more importantly, Taiwan has a highly free and democratic civil society that is worthy of pride and cherishment.
Han Kuo-yu called on the Taiwanese businesspeople and expatriates present, saying, "Everyone is family," and urged them to increase exchanges both domestically and internationally.
The legislative delegation members include Lin Chu-yin, Chiu Yi-ying, Lee Po-yi, and Wang Yi-chuan from the Democratic Progressive Party; Chang Chia-chun, Yang Chiung-ying, Lu Ming-che, and Lo Ting-wei from the Kuomintang; and Chiu Hui-ju from the Taiwan People's Party. Key events during the UK visit include the 32nd General Assembly of the European Federation of Taiwanese Chambers of Commerce, which will commence on the 16th.
Today's "Legislative Yuan Delegation and UK Expatriate Community Dinner" in London brought together representatives from various generations and fields of Taiwanese expatriates in the UK. Representative Yao Chin-hsiang, Taiwan's representative to the UK, also attended and delivered introductory remarks, emphasizing Han Kuo-yu and the legislators' concern for the expatriate community.
