Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen will pledge to strengthen the island’s economy and deepen ties with democratic allies in a National Day speech on Monday, amid the risk of a global recession and after unprecedented military drills by China.
Tsai will say that building resilience requires a strong economy, and will propose policies to contain inflation, stabilize financial markets, ensure the security of key infrastructure, and the net-zero transition, according to an outline of her National Day speech.
She will also say Taiwan needs to strengthen the transparency of information and forge internal consensus on a free and democratic system. The president will reiterate Taiwan’s determination to strengthen its defense capabilities to uphold regional peace and stability.
