外交部今(17日)舉行「日本熊本地震民間賑災捐款儀式」,由外交部長林佳龍主持,將台灣各界總額超過新台幣3億元的善款,代表轉交給日方。

日本熊本地區7月28日下午發生芮氏規模7.1強震,造成嚴重災情。總統賴清德、副總統蕭美琴及行政院長卓榮泰率先以個人名義捐款20萬元,外交部也代表政府捐款新台幣500萬元提供日本政府賑災;外交部並在賴總統指示下,於8月1日正式啟動「0728日本熊本賑災專案」,委請國際合作發展基金會(國合會)辦理公開勸募,至8月31日止,一個月內就募集超過新台幣3億元,折合超過14億日圓,全數投入熊本復興重建。包括亞洲台灣商會聯合總會在內,各地僑領及僑會也紛紛以不同形式響應支援。

林佳龍今天在外交部主持捐贈儀式,代表台灣人民與政府,向熊本強震中受災的日本民眾表達最誠摯的哀悼與慰問。他致詞表示,隨著台積電及半導體供應鏈進駐熊本,越來越多台灣人赴當地工作與生活,「熊本的平安,是台日共同的牽掛」。

他說,台日每逢遭遇重大災害,總是在第一時間相互伸出援手、患難與共,從921大地震、311東日本大地震到2016年熊本地震,台日在最需要彼此的時候都不曾缺席;台灣與日本同處颱風、地震頻仍的第一島鏈,如何提升面對天然災害的韌性,一直是必須共同面對的重要課題,期盼今後持續攜手深化防災、減災、救災及災後重建等領域的合作,讓雙方成為守護彼此的強大力量。

林佳龍也說,等到災區復原工作告一段落,台灣人民一定會呼朋引伴再去造訪,奮力為熊本加油。

日本台灣交流協會台北事務所代表片山和之則感謝林佳龍、外交部、國合會、台灣日本關係協會,以及所有慷慨捐贈善款的台灣民眾。他說,震災發生3天後的7月31日,外交部馬上成立賑災捐款窗口,並於8月6日提供500萬元捐款,如此迅速的應對令人深受感動。

片山說,這次賑災也獲得台灣官民與朝野各界支持,例如台積電捐款高達2億5千萬日圓,台灣高鐵也捐助2千萬日圓,這些與日本乃至熊本有深厚淵源的台灣企業對災區伸出強而有力的援助之手,不只是經濟上的支持,更讓日方再次深刻感受到日台民間長久以來建立的心與心的連結,以及深厚的信賴和友誼。

片山也提到,2011年東日本大震災時,台灣給予世界上最熱烈的支持,2024年1月能登半島地震、同年4月花蓮地震,雙方都互相提供支持;針對近期花蓮與高雄的水災,日本各地也給予大量援助。

台灣熊本會會長本島知明表示,這次熊本地震造成38人不幸罹難,房屋受損超過7萬棟,尤其以熊本縣南部地區災情最為嚴重,目前仍有約1800人被迫過著避難生活,熊本縣正面臨一場嚴峻的考驗;儘管如此,當地基礎設施修復及住宅重建工作已陸續展開,包括九州新幹線在內的各項交通基礎設施也陸續恢復運行。

本島說,熊本將把台灣朋友給予的溫暖鼓勵與支持銘記在心,一定會重新站起來,也誠摯期待台灣朋友再次造訪九州熊本,親眼看看熊本一步一步朝復興邁進,並期盼更多熊本朋友造訪美麗的台灣,讓雙向交流比以往更加熱絡。
