47. Dr. Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) was Welcomed Warmly by Members of the U.S. Congress

On September 14th 2011, the Presidential candidate of Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Dr. Tsai Ing-wen, was warmly welcomed on Capitol Hill by two dozen members of both Houses of the U.S. Congress. The welcome reception was organized and hosted by the Formosan Association for Public Affairs (FAPA). The next day, the Taipei Times headlined “[…] the DPP chairperson knocked the socks off US congressional officials as she talked about the long-term relationship between the US and Taiwan.” Here are some highlights of the event.

2011年9月14日,台灣的民進黨總統候選人蔡英文主席,在國會山莊受到超過20多位美國國會議員的熱烈歡迎。該歡迎酒會是由台灣人公共事務會(FAPA)主辦。次日,台北時報的頭版寫著「(前略)民進黨黨主席與美國國會議員會晤,談到美台之間長久的情誼,使議員們印象深刻。」請欣賞酒會的幾個精采片段。
