The president of Paraguay, Taiwan’s only diplomatic ally in South America, landed in Taiwan on Thursday morning for a state visit. In the afternoon, President Santiago Peña headed to National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, where he received an honorary doctorate. The ceremony was presided by Taiwan Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim, who delivered a speech with emphasis on one letter: P. Her humorous comments elicited laughs from everyone in the audience. Let’s hear what she said about Paraguay, and its principal partnership with Taiwan.

Hsiao Bi-khim
Vice President
I am still extremely impressed by President Peña’s passion for serving the people of Paraguay. President Peña, passion, people, Paraguay. Five Ps. And plus a principal partnership with Taiwan makes it perfecto.

Santiago Peña
President of Paraguay
Today I receive this distinction not merely as a personal honor but as a symbol of the alliance of two peoples who believe in freedom, in education and in the transformative power of knowledge.

Recent reports indicate that China has been attempting to pressure Taiwan into switching allegiance to Beijing by providing financial aid. But Peña’s visit demonstrates that he has no intention of breaking off relations with Taiwan. Even earlier, he has expressed support for Taiwan in multiple occasions internationally. On Friday, President Lai Ching-te will receive the Paraguay president at the Presidential office, and confer on him the Order of Brilliant Jade with Grand Cordon to recognize his contributions to the strong friendship between the two countries.
