2024/09/26

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched a short film in the lead-up to Double Tenth National Day that spotlights Taiwan’s accomplishments at home and abroad.

The video, released Sept. 24, segments focus on democracy, peace, prosperity and Taiwan’s diverse culture, the MOFA said. Images showing the country’s outstanding ranking in the 2023 democracy index are presented alongside pictures from this year’s successful presidential election, and other recent developments highlight the importance of democracy, freedom and diverse values to members of Taiwan’s society.

The next segment projects Taiwan’s role as the steadying voice of regional peace and shows the country’s deep bond with its allies, its active cooperation with global democracies and its participation in international relief efforts. The portion focused on prosperity emphasizes Taiwan’s semiconductor, artificial intelligence, drones, and space industries, as well as traditional sectors such as textile and precision machinery to underscore Taiwan’s key role in the global supply chain.

In the short’s final section, Taiwan greets the world, introducing its pluralistic society, religious freedom and its fusion of tradition and modernity. Photos of Taiwan’s triumphant Olympic athletes create a joyful, heartwarming atmosphere of unity and celebration for the end of the piece.

The video is available to view and share on all the MOFA’s social media platforms and its official website. It is subtitled in Chinese, English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Thai and eight other languages, the ministry added.
