美國在台協會對前總統李登輝辭世表達深切哀悼
美國在台協會對前總統李登輝的辭世表示最深切的哀悼，李前總統是民主改革先行者，也是美國的夥伴和摯友。在李前總統的領導下，台灣在短短十多年間從戒嚴時期轉型成全面民主體制；李前總統也在其任內奠定了美台夥伴關係的基石，讓印太地區及全世界皆獲益甚多。作為美國愛荷華州立大學和康乃爾大學的校友，李前總統也體現了強健的美台人民情誼。李前總統成功帶領台灣轉型成民主與自由的燈塔，並鞏固美台雙邊友誼，他的貢獻將持續深深影響未來數個世代。

Statement on the Passing of Former President Lee Teng-hui
AIT expresses its deepest condolences upon the passing of Lee Teng-hui, former president, reformer, partner, and friend of the United States. Taiwan’s astonishing transition from martial law to full democratization in a little over a decade took place under President Lee’s leadership, and forms the foundation of the U.S.-Taiwan partnership that has brought so much benefit to the Indo-Pacific region and the world. An alumnus of Iowa State University and Cornell University, President Lee also epitomized the strong people-to-people ties which bind the United States and Taiwan. President Lee’s success in transforming Taiwan into a beacon of freedom and democracy and in cementing the U.S.-Taiwan friendship will be felt by many future generations.
