Xiao Meiqin attended the handover of the Kiwanis Club and praised civil society for supporting social resilience

Xiao Meiqin said that the government continues to expand and review social care policies, and the country’s economic development has achieved success, but there are still corners that require joint support from private forces. This is social resilience.

Vice President Hsiao Meiqin attended the handover ceremony of the Taiwan President of the Kiwanis Association this afternoon, accompanied by He Xinchun, the Taichung mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party. She said that the government has continued to expand and review social care policies, and the country's economic development has achieved success. Behind many beautiful numbers that are envied by the world, there are still corners that need the support of private forces. This is social resilience.

Xiao Meiqin said that the Tongji Club has long been taking children and social services as its core concepts, and has taken root downwards, setting up clubs from elementary schools to colleges and universities, and proposing the concept of "one club, one school". Silent dedication at the grassroots level is the most critical force for the stability and progress of Taiwanese society, and it is also a spirit cherished by the government. She mentioned that during her service in Hualien, she encountered natural disasters such as earthquakes and storms every time, and she thanked the Tongji Club for their help across the mountains and ridges, including the reconstruction and support of school buildings.

Xiao Meiqin also said that she participated in the Asia-Pacific Annual Conference held by the Tongji Association in Kaohsiung last year. Nearly 500 international brothers and sisters from more than ten countries came to Taiwan. They used practical actions to let the international community see and understand Taiwan, and let the world know that Taiwan is a trustworthy and willing partner. This kind of humanitarian care that does not distinguish between national boundaries also demonstrates the kindness, warmth and tolerance of Taiwanese people.
