Peekaboo! 👻

在愛爾蘭的朋友們,這幾天有沒有感受到濃厚的萬聖節氛圍呢?

萬聖節起源於愛爾蘭 🇮🇪 古老的 #薩溫節(Samhain),大家熟悉的南瓜燈 🎃(Jack-o’-lantern),其實也有著愛爾蘭的 #蕪菁燈 淵源!早期愛爾蘭人會將蕪菁(大頭菜)挖空、雕刻鬼臉,再放入燭火,用來驅趕遊魂。這項習俗隨著移民傳入美國後,人們慢慢改用體積更大、也更容易雕刻的南瓜,成為今天萬聖節不可或缺的元素。

無論今晚準備參加派對、欣賞街頭裝飾,或和孩子們一起 ,祝大家度過一個愉快的萬聖夜!

For those in Ireland, have you been feeling the spirit over the past few days?

Halloween has its roots in Ireland’s ancient festival. And did you know that the familiar Jack-o’-lantern 🎃 also has its origins in Ireland’s tradition of carving ? Early Irish people hollowed out turnips, carved spooky faces into them and placed candles inside, believing they would ward off wandering spirits. The tradition later travelled to America, where pumpkins gradually replaced turnips as they were larger and easier to carve, becoming an essential part of Halloween as we know it today.

Whether you’re heading to a party, admiring the Halloween decorations or taking the little ones out for tonight, we hope you have a fun-filled evening! Happy Halloween! 🧡

嗨,我把台灣山林寄給你 🌲

面積約為愛爾蘭一半的 #台灣,擁有數千座海拔 1,000 公尺以上的高山 ⛰️,森林覆蓋率近六成。除了生活在這片土地上的 2,300 萬居民,還有許多獨特的動植物,一起編寫著充滿生命力與驚喜的故事。

中華郵政昨(29)日發行了 #森林旅遊郵票,將台灣各處山林的美好濃縮於方寸之間;在日光和紫外光照射下,還能發現隱藏其中的主題名稱 ✨

2026 年即將步入尾聲,在台灣的朋友們不妨提筆書寫,將心中話語和台灣山林一起分享給海外親友,或寄予自己收藏吧!📬

💌 Hey, I’m sending you a little piece of Taiwan’s forests!

, about half the size of , is home to thousands of mountains over 1,000 metres high, with forests covering nearly 60% of its land. 🏔 Alongside its 23 million people, countless unique plants and animals share this island, weaving stories full of life and wonder.

On 29 October, Chunghwa Post issued a new set of stamps featuring Taiwan’s National Forest Recreation Areas, capturing the beauty of the island’s forests in miniature. Look closely, and you’ll discover a little surprise: the stamps’ titles appear under sunlight or UV light! 🔅

As 2026 draws to a close, why not put pen to paper and share your thoughts, along with a little of Taiwan’s natural beauty, with friends and family overseas? Or send a postcard to yourself as a keepsake! 📮

Have you decided what’s for dinner tonight? 😋

Supermarkets across Ireland offer rice grown in Europe, Thailand and beyond. Yet differences in climate, soil, growing conditions and even cooking methods can shape the flavour and texture of the rice we enjoy.

Taiwan has long invested in agricultural research and rice breeding, resulting in dozens of varieties, each with its own distinctive qualities. 🌾

Tonight, join Reece Andrew Ayers, winner of the Second Prize of the .0 International Short Film Competition’s Taiwan Panorama Special Award, for a one-minute journey into the story of , one of Taiwan’s best-known rice varieties! 🕵️

𝑻𝒂𝒊𝒘𝒂𝒏 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒖𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝑼𝑪𝑫

Since winning the 2026 International Booker Prize 🏆, 𝑇𝑎𝑖𝑤𝑎𝑛 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑢𝑒, written by Taiwanese author Yáng Shuāng-zǐ and translated into English by Lin King, has continued to attract international attention and reach readers around the world through translations into multiple languages. 📖 Through its pages, readers can discover Taiwan’s history, culture and everyday life, opening a window onto Taiwan and creating opportunities for mutual understanding and cultural exchange.

Following an introduction by Evan Furlong, Principal of the Dublin School of Mandarin Chinese, Ambassador Daniel Tang recently visited University College Dublin ( ) Library. Accompanied by University Librarian Dr. Sandra Collins and Director of Cultural Heritage Evelyn Flanagan, he toured the remarkable James Joyce Library.

During the visit, Ambassador Tang also presented UCD with five copies of the English translation of 𝑇𝑎𝑖𝑤𝑎𝑛 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑢𝑒, hoping that students and staff will discover Taiwan through the evocative writing of its author and translator. We also hope that more readers in Ireland will one day have the opportunity to explore the original Mandarin edition, or even visit Taiwan themselves to experience the rich cultural heritage and human stories that bring the island to life. 👣

📃 歐洲議會近日通過「歐中政治關係建議案」

報告內容不僅肯定台歐夥伴關係的重要性,呼籲深化雙方在半導體及網路安全等領域的合作,也明確反對中國以脅迫手段打壓台灣、限縮台灣國際參與的行徑。

台歐雖相距遙遠,各自擁有獨特的語言與文化,但仍因對民主、自由與和平的共同理念而產生共鳴,也為彼此開創更多交流與合作的空間 🕊

The European Parliament 🇪🇺 has recently adopted a recommendation on EU–China political relations.

The report recognises the importance of the EU–Taiwan partnership, calls for closer cooperation in areas such as semiconductors and cybersecurity, and explicitly opposes 🤚 China’s use of coercion to undermine Taiwan and restrict its international participation.

Although Taiwan and Europe are geographically distant and have their own distinct languages and cultures, we share a strong affinity rooted in our common commitment to democracy, freedom and peace. These shared values create opportunities for greater exchange and cooperation. 🚶‍➡️🚶

📜 Read the full report:
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/....../TA-10-2026-0334_EN.pdf

這麼重要的事情一定要跟大家分享 👊

最近 #歐洲議會 通過「歐中政治關係建議」報告案,內容除了肯定台歐盟緊密的夥伴關係,也反對中國以脅迫方式限縮台灣國際參與空間,報告書重點包含:

■ 台灣在半導體產業及全球供應鏈扮演關鍵角色,是歐盟重要的貿易夥伴及高科技創新樞紐。

■ 建議歐盟深化與台灣在半導體及網路安全等領域的合作,並呼籲立即啟動 #台歐盟雙邊投資協定 或關鍵供應鏈備忘錄的談判準備工作。

■ 重申歐盟從未認可中國的「一個中國原則」,反對以武力或脅迫片面改變台海現狀,並反對中國扭曲 #聯大第2758號決議。

■ 點名中國施壓歐方,阻撓蕭美琴副總統出席本年9月在義大利文托泰內舉辦的「歐洲自由與民主論壇」,並強烈反對中國的跨國鎮壓及法律於境外適用。

外交部誠摯感謝歐洲議會長期以具體行動支持台灣,關注台海和平穩定,並支持台灣國際參與。未來台灣將持續與好朋友深化合作,共同維護印太區域及全球的和平、安全與繁榮。

We've got something important to share with everyone 👊

The European Parliament has adopted a recommendation on EU-China political relations, which lauds Taiwan-Europe cooperative ties and opposes China's attempts to restrict Taiwan's international participation through force and coercion.

The report:

■ States that EU cooperation with Taiwan is crucial for global prosperity due to Taiwan’s vital role in the semiconductor industry and global supply chains, its position as a significant trading partner for the EU, and its status as a hub for innovation in high-tech sectors;

■ Highlights the importance of deepening economic and technological cooperation with Taiwan in fields such as semiconductors and cybersecurity, and of launching, without delay, preparatory measures for negotiations on a bilateral investment agreement, or other kinds of agreement, such as a memorandum of understanding on critical supply chains, with Taiwan.

■ Reiterates that the EU has never endorsed the One China Principle and opposes any provocation or unilateral attempt to violate the status quo by force or coercion, as well as the distortion of UN Resolution 2758 by China to support its claims over Taiwan’s territory and sovereignty.

■ Rejects China’s attempts to coerce international organizations, third countries, and other actors into restricting Taiwan’s international participation and contacts, as recently demonstrated by the pressure exerted by Beijing over the participation of Taiwan’s Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim in the Ventotene European Conference for Freedom and Democracy organized by the European Parliament.

MOFA thanks the European Parliament for its long-standing support for Taiwan, its concern for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, and Taiwan's international participation. Taiwan will continue to work with our European friends to strengthen cooperation and defend the peace, security, and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region and the wider world.
