2026-01-30
With just a few weeks to go until the Lunar New Year, President Lai Ching-te on Friday visited the Hualien Navy Base, the Hualien Army Coastal Defense Unit, and the Hualien Air Force Base. Besides inspecting the troops, Lai offered words of encouragement to personnel, and presented them with additional bonuses. He also delivered a speech in which he expressed his gratitude to the soldiers who participated in last year’s disaster relief efforts during the Guangfu flood. He emphasized the high-quality performance of the Coastal Defense Unit during Taiwan’s own Han Kuang exercises, as well as its responsiveness during China’s military drills near the area. The president also took the opportunity to call on opposition parties to put aside political differences to secure more funding for the troops. Let’s hear from him.
Lai Ching-te
President
During the Han Kuang exercises, readiness drills, base missions, and disaster relief during the Guangfu operation, our troops demonstrated outstanding performance, which I want to fully recognize. Last year, when China conducted military exercises around Taiwan, the Second Operational Command responded quickly, showing deterrent strength and demonstrating to our people the solid combat capabilities of our officers and soldiers. The government will continue to make every effort to give our military troops maximum support. I hope that all political parties can put aside differences on matters of national defense and security, and work to secure more budget and resources for our own troops so that we can protect our sovereignty.
President Lai personally visited the tactical center to hear reports from the troops, and inspected the mobile vertical launchers of the Tien Kung III missiles and the radar vehicles. He also watched a retrospective video with the soldiers showing last year’s Guangfu flood and the Coastal Defense Unit’s involvement in the disaster relief efforts. He thanked the troops for holding their posts and safeguarding the safety of the Taiwanese people.
