During his stopover in Hawaii, President Lai visited the USS Arizona Memorial.

In the evening, the president attended a banquet with members of the overseas Taiwanese community in Honolulu.

During the meal, Lai spoke on the need for cooperation to prevent war.

Our visit to the memorial today, in particular, reminds us of the importance of ensuring peace.

Peace is priceless, and war has no winner.

We have to fight, fight together to prevent war.

President Lai, your trip is also crucial in building these bonds, as your partnerships help to enhance Taiwan's resilience and Taiwan's security.

Taiwan is an economic powerhouse, an important trade partner to the United States, and an indispensable link in critical supply chains.

The opportunity for you to engage with thought leaders, the diasporic community, and state and local leaders is invaluable, and I know will contribute to further strengthening the rock-solid U.S.-Taiwan partnership.

AIT Chairwoman Laura Rosenberger, who is on maternity leave, spoke at the banquet via video.

Additionally, 17 local senators, former AIT Chairman James Moriarty,

 AIT Managing Director Ingrid Larsen, and more than 300 Taiwanese expats attended the event.
