最挺台的好朋友回來了！

捷克🇨🇿參議長韋德齊率領40人大型訪團抵達台灣，這是繼 2020 年後，韋德齊議長再次以行動展現對台灣的堅定支持🙌🏻

當時韋德齊參議長在立法院演說特別引用1963年美國總統甘迺迪在西柏林演講名句，以中文說出 #我是台灣人 向台灣人民致敬，至今仍受到廣大迴響。

近年來台捷政府高層互動愈趨密切，雙方在國會、經貿、科技、學術、文化與觀光等領域交流日漸深化；此外，在韋德齊參議長領導下，捷克參議院也多次通過友台決議，持續為我國發聲💪🏻

捷克是台灣在歐洲地區的重要夥伴，外交部期待未來持續與捷克深化實質合作，開創兩國關係的新里程碑！

接下來韋德齊參議長將陸續展開精彩訪問行程，歡迎大家密切關注並支持💙

A great supporter of Taiwan is back!

Czech🇨🇿 Senate President Miloš Vystrčil arrived on his second visit to Taiwan since 2020, at the head of a 40-person delegation, a show of his unwavering support 🙌🏻

In his speech to the Legislative Yuan back in 2020, echoing US President Kennedy's "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech in 1963, he showed solidarity with the people of Taiwan, by saying in Mandarin "I am Taiwanese!" to great applause.

Over recent years, high-level exchanges between Taiwan and Czechia have become ever more frequent, alongside strengthened parliamentary, trade, tech, academic, cultural and tourism engagement. Under Vystrc‌il's leadership, the Czech Senate has also adopted Taiwan-friendly resolutions💪

Czechia is an important European trading partner for Taiwan and MOFA hopes to strengthen substantive cooperation going forward, towards a new milestone in the bilateral relationship!

Taiwan has overtaken India to become the world’s fifth-largest stock market by market capitalization, driven largely by a massive rally in technology and semiconductor stocks. According to Bloomberg data, Taiwan’s stock market value climbed to nearly $4.95 trillion, edging past India’s $4.92 trillion. Taiwan now ranks behind only the United States, China, Japan, and Hong Kong in global market value.

Analysts say the surge has been powered mainly by chipmaking giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), which has benefited heavily from the global artificial intelligence boom. TSMC’s shares have reportedly risen nearly 49% this year, accounting for a major portion of Taiwan’s benchmark index.

Meanwhile, India’s markets have faced pressure from foreign investor outflows, slowing earnings growth, and rising energy costs. Experts believe the global shift toward AI-driven technology stocks has significantly favored Taiwan’s market over traditional growth sectors.

Taiwan -- A Strength for Good.
