Honorary president Lin Guocai fully supported Lai Ruilong's name Tahai in accordance with the Bunun tradition. Lai Ruilong thanked the tribe for their precious blessings and prayed that God and ancestral spirits would protect Namasia.

The Tahai Laerilon Namasya Support Association was officially established today. He expressed his gratitude to the friends of the Namasya tribe for their support in the languages ​​of the Bunun, Kanakanafu and La Aruwa tribes.

He said that honorary president Lin Guocai named him Tahai in accordance with the Bunun tradition, which means a brave, capable, civilized and military warrior. He also personally helped him put on the Bunun vest. I am honored that the tribe is willing to give me the most precious blessing.

Lai Ruilong thanked President Zhan Yiling, as well as the two honorary presidents Lin Guocai and Abo Nuo, for bringing so many ethnic people forward. He had previously established the Metropolitan Area Aboriginal Support Association. Today, the Namasia Support Association was established, allowing the Aboriginal support force to complete the key puzzle.

Lai Ruilong thanked Legislator Wu Lihua for serving as the Chief Supervisor. He described Wu Lihua as a voice for the indigenous peoples for many years and traveled to their hometowns. She was the people's most caring support. At the same time, he thanked Legislator Qiu Yiying for accompanying Daqimei and Namasia all the way. He emphasized that Hakka daughters are deeply involved in their hometowns and are the best example of Greater Kaohsiung working together regardless of ethnic groups.

He said that the next step will be to integrate the medical systems of Rongzong Hospital, E-Da University, and Qishan Hospital, and use mobile medical vehicles and telemedicine to bring medical care to the tribes and allow the elders to live peacefully in their hometowns; they will also promote the "Daqi Meiyuan Mountain City Road" to build the firefly viewing season and the culture of the three ethnic groups into the most eye-catching brand in East Kaohsiung and bring it to the international stage.

He announced that starting from today, he will carry the expectations of the name Tahai to move forward step by step in the medical, transportation, education and industry of his hometown. There are still 53 days until the voting. Please continue to support, and may God and ancestral spirits bless and protect the safety of every family in Namasia!

Foreign Minister Lin Jialong went to the United States to open the Phoenix Office, witnessing the establishment of Taiwan's 14th mission in the United States.

Foreign Minister Lin Jialong arrived in Phoenix, Arizona, the United States, and attended the unveiling ceremony of the Taiwan Office in Phoenix, witnessing the official establishment of Taiwan's 14th mission in the United States. He pointed out that as TSMC invests in setting up factories and brings supply chains, partners and Taiwanese talents to Arizona, the connection between Taiwan and the United States will become increasingly closer, and two-way investment, business trips and exchanges will continue to increase. Lin Jialong revealed that after returning to the country at the end of last year, he held a meeting to discuss the establishment of the office. He thanked President Lai Qingde, the US State Department and Arizona Governor Hao Kaiti for their support. It took half a year of preparations to complete the opening. The ceremony included Lan Ying, executive director of the American Institute in Taiwan, Governor Hao Kaiti, Phoenix Mayor Gary, TSMC Arizona factory CEO Zhuang Ruiping and his team, as well as Taiwanese overseas Chinese who attended the ceremony. During this trip, Lin Jialong also led business representatives to understand the investment environment, witnessed the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the National Federation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Arizona Department of Commerce, and visited TSMC's Arizona factory. He emphasized that Phoenix City is the practice of "New Flying Geese Theory and International Joint Fleet", with leading companies leading the supply chain to the world, and government counterparts assisting in expanding business opportunities, global layout and resource connections. Looking to the future, China Airlines and STARLUX Airlines have opened direct flights from Taipei to Phoenix. We look forward to the new office serving Chinese people working, living, studying and traveling in the United States, accompanying more Taiwanese companies to take root in the country, and allowing more American friends to know Taiwan.
