日本首相高市早苗與菲律賓總統小馬可仕這幾天在東京舉行日菲峰會，並發布聯合聲明強調 #台海和平穩定重要性！

這是日菲兩國元首首度以聯合聲明表達對台海議題的高度關切，彰顯維護台海和平穩定已是國際社會的共同利益。雙方也對東海及南海情勢表達深刻憂慮，強烈反對任何企圖以武力或脅迫片面改變現狀的行徑。

台海和平穩定是印太區域安全與繁榮的關鍵，台灣將秉持 #總合外交 理念，與日本、菲律賓等理念相近國家持續深化各領域合作關係，攜手促進印太區域的民主、和平與繁榮發展🙌

MOFA Minister Lin Chia-lung commends and welcomes the joint statement issued following a summit meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae and Philippine President Bongbong Marcos in Tokyo, emphasizing the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and encouraging a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues through dialogue

It marked the first time that the leaders of Japan and the Philippines used a joint statement to express their keen attention to Taiwan Strait issues, showing that safeguarding Taiwan Strait peace and stability is a matter of common consensus among the international community. It expresses serious concern over the situation in the East and South China Seas and strong opposition to any unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion

Peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait are crucial to security and prosperity across the Indo-Pacific region. As it pursues integrated diplomacy, Taiwan will continue to deepen collaboration with like-minded nations in all areas, working together to uphold the rules-based international order and jointly advance democracy, peace, and prosperous development throughout the Indo-Pacific.🙌

到台灣旅遊是一次探索其地理特性的探索旅程，其中包括台灣的最高峰玉山。

Traveling to Taiwan is an adventure of its geographic nature, including Taiwan’s highland The Jade Mountain.

Already visited Taipei, Jiufen, Alishan, and Sun Moon Lake?

Here is a different way to explore Taiwan.

Travel to the island’s extreme points, visit its geographic center, stand on the Tropic of Cancer, or challenge yourself with a trip to Yushan, Taiwan’s highest mountain.

These places may not always appear in guidebooks, but they tell an interesting story about Taiwan’s geography.

Which one would you visit first?

1996年台灣首次實施總統直選，今年剛好滿30週年。這不只是制度的改變，更是台灣走向民主的重要里程碑。
​
為紀念這段珍貴歷程， #中華郵政 將在5/20發行以「主權在民」為主題的紀念郵票。
​
對許多華人而言，這張郵票不只是收藏品，更像是一封寄給朋友的訊息：台灣的民主，一直在前進。
​
Taiwan’s democracy turns 30
​
In 1996, Taiwan held its first direct presidential election — a defining milestone in the island’s democratic journey.
​
To mark the 30th anniversary, Chunghwa Post will release a commemorative stamp set on May 20 themed around “sovereignty belongs to the people.”

For many overseas Chinese communities and Taiwan supporters around the world, these stamps are more than collectibles. They carry a simple message sent from Taiwan to friends everywhere: democracy here continues to move forward.
