【談話】中華民国（台湾）総統選挙結果を受けて／[Talk] About Presidential Election Result of ROC

民国113年1月13日、中華民国（台湾）におきまして第16代総統・副総統選挙が行われ、現職副総統である、民進党の賴清德首席・蕭美琴前駐米代表が当選されました。円滑に直接民主選挙が実施されたことに敬意を、選出された頼次期総統・蕭美琴次期副総統に心から祝意を表します。

中華民国は、自由で開かれたインド太平洋地域の安定において非常に重要な国家です。この国において、このように民主主義を行使し選挙が行われたことを大変喜ばしく思います。また、中華人民共和国からの圧力に屈せず頼次期総統・蕭美琴次期副総統に投票した国民の方々におかれましては、国も守るという気概の下、行動に移されたものと推察します。そのような方々の思いが報われた結果であると感じています。

頼次期総統には、蔡英文総統の下、残り4か月副総統として尽力いただき、その後総統就任という形になりますが、信条を大切に、中華民国のために政治を行っていただきたく思います。Bears Musicといたしましては、今後も中華民国との関係を維持し、友好関係を深化させていく所存であります。

お二方、この度は誠におめでとうございます。

On January 13, 113th year of the Republic of China (Taiwan), the election of the 16th President and Vice President of the Republic of China was held, and the incumbent Vice President, Chief of Democratic Progressive Party Lai Ching-te and former Representative of the ROC to the United States, Siew Miqin, were elected. I would like to express my respect for the smooth conduct of the direct democratic elections and my sincere congratulations to President-elect Lai and Vice President-elect Siew for their election.

The Republic of China is a very important nation in the stability of a free and open Indo-Pacific region. I am very pleased to see democracy exercised and elections held in this country. I am also pleased that the people of the ROC did not yield to the pressure from the People's Republic of China and voted for President-elect and Vice President-elect Xiao Meiqin, and I assume that they did so with the determination to protect their country. I feel that their efforts have been rewarded.

President-elect Lai will serve under President Tsai Ing-wen as Vice President for the remaining four months of Dr. Tsai's term, after which he will assume the presidency. I hope that you will keep your own beliefs in mind and conduct politics for the Republic of China. Bears Music will continue to maintain and deepen our friendly relationship with the ROC.

Once again, congratulations to both of you.
