Former President Chen Shui-bian, former Vice President Annette Lu, and former Vice President Chen Jianren attended the conference. Since the three people were seated next to each other, they all had conversations during the conference. After President Lai Ching-te took office, former President Tsai Ing-wen, who had attended the National Day gathering in previous years, was absent due to a visit to the United States.

Party leaders, including People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang, People First Party Chairman James Soong, and Times Power Party Chairman Wang Wanyu, attended. Among them, Huang Guochang even stepped forward to shake hands with Chen Shui-bian and talk. KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen did not attend the National Day meeting because she went to Kaohsiung to attend the flag-raising ceremony.

Huang Guochang led 8 People's Party legislators to attend the National Day Convention today. In an interview before the meeting, Huang Guochang said that today is the 115th National Day of the Republic of China, and the Taiwan People's Party will always put the interests of the country before the interests of the party. Today I am very happy to accompany the party legislators to attend the National Day ceremony.

In response to President Lai Qingde's call yesterday for the Legislative Yuan to pass next year's general budget and this year's supplementary budget as soon as possible, Huang Guochang responded that in a democratic constitutional country, there is no executive power that can not comply with, fail to implement, or not announce the law passed by the Congress on the third reading. He hopes President Lai will think twice and quickly announce the law passed by the Congress on the third reading in accordance with the law.
