I am incredibly privileged to have this opportunity to share the perspective from #Taiwan. The inclusion of a Taiwan panel at the #RigaStratComDialogue —featuring Taiwanese panelists—is itself a powerful message of strategic communication.
Dr. Ya-chi Chiang, Deputy Representative, Taipei Representative Office in the United Kingdom at the #RigaStratComDialogue: "Talking about freedom, I will quote the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, who stated that values and rights are worth fighting for".

In a more volatile world, #Taiwan's Whole-of-Society Defence Resilience Committee exemplifies scale of ambition the #UK needs in the face of rising #security #threats. As I said in Parliament’s Joint Committee on the #NationalSecurity Strategy, vital we learn from its successes.

Amb. Yao and Dep. Chiang were delighted to attend @HungDance's performance of Push and Pull at the Coronet Theatre last week. This brilliant piece of Taiwanese creativity received a very warm welcome from its London audience👏
Replying to @HungDance
@HungDance presented <Push and Pull> #推拉 at The Coronet Theatre, receiving warm applause from audiences. Choreographed by Lai Hung-chung, the duet explores the dynamics of human relationships. Rep. Yao and Dep. Chiang of @Taiwan_in_UK attended the performance to show support.

At the UK Parliament, I was pleased to meet with Lord Purvis of Tweed, Leader of the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords, and James MacCleary MP, the Liberal Democrat defence spokesperson. We discussed Taiwan–UK cooperation, Taiwan–US and UK–US relations, and how partners can work more effectively together on security challenges. I shared Taiwan’s direct observations of China’s grey-zone pressure and hybrid tactics, including airspace probing, UAV activity, cyber operations, and information pressure. We focused on practical areas to deepen cooperation, especially in defense security, the UAV industry, and countering cyber and hybrid threats. Both agreed that as threats grow more complex, closer coordination and policy sharing are increasingly important. We also exchanged views on how NATO countries have been handling Russian UAV incursions into their airspace. Similar situations are occurring around Taiwan as well, making these experiences highly relevant as reference cases and important for shaping more standardized response procedures going forward. In a time of rapid change, cross-party and cross-border dialogue matters more than ever. I look forward to further advancing Taiwan–UK cooperation in security, technology, and resilience.

China’s drills and live fire around Taiwan raise tensions, threaten peace, and endanger air and maritime safety. Taiwan rejects coercion and intimidation. We thank democratic partners for speaking out and standing with Taiwan to uphold regional peace and a rules based order.

That's why some people here call them Freedom Pineapples 🍍
These Taiwanese pineapple cakes are so good the Chinese Communist Party banned them. Beijing’s lawfare only makes them taste better! 😋

Taiwan's future is for Taiwan's 23 million people to decide. President @ChingteLai's new defence initiatives will ensure Taiwan continues to build asymmetric warfare capabilities and deter aggressors that threaten Taiwan's sovereignty.
Our security, our democracy—our responsibility. Today I announced major initiatives to safeguard peace in the Taiwan Strait, including a landmark special defense budget of US$40 billion. This multi-year package will vastly enhance #Taiwan's asymmetric capabilities.

Glad to join the discussion and stress that a trusted partner is crucial to ensure economic security.
Dep. Chiang spoke at the 2025 Price of War Symposium hosted by @CERGE_EI_Found that Taiwan’s strength in semiconductors and AI makes it a reliable partner for global economic resilience. She warned that China’s push for tech self-sufficiency threatens economic security.

Former President @iingwen delivered a speech at the 1st Berlin Freedom Conference yesterday. In times of uncertainty, unity among democracies matters more than ever. #Taiwan🇹🇼 is here to contribute our part to protecting freedom.
An honour to speak at the inaugural Berlin Freedom Conference. At this time of global uncertainty, with rising authoritarian threats, it is crucial that democracies & their supporters come together to defend our hard-earned freedom. In this effort, #Taiwan has much to contribute.
