✨蔡英文總統今日頒授「大綬景星勳章」予美國在台協會酈英傑處長，表彰酈處長在推動美台關係與增進美台人民情誼所做出的重大貢獻。
💞「美台關係與眾不同且世上少見。即便如此，過去一年半來美台共同努力對抗全球疫情，致使我們雙邊關係大幅升溫，依然讓我個人感到異常驚喜。這段期間内，美台同心協力一起締造的成績，真正體現了雙方都有著決心與創意，要一同努力讓美台關係進一步往前邁進。而最近台灣疫情升高，更讓美台關係益加緊密。
我很高興也很榮幸能在這個時間點擔任美國在台協會處長。我相信，這項殊榮不僅象徵著當前美台堅實強健的夥伴關係，也代表美台關係持續成長茁壯的無限潛力。我期待即使離任之後，我也能持續為增進美台關係貢獻一己之力，讓這段重要的夥伴關係更上一層樓。」-- 美國在台協會處長酈英傑

✨President Tsai Ing-wen today awarded the Order of the Brilliant Star with Grand Cordon to AIT Director Christensen, commending him for his extraordinary contribution to strengthening Taiwan-U.S. relations and people-to-people ties.
💞“The U.S.-Taiwan relationship is a rare and special one. Yet I have been personally – and pleasantly – surprised by the dramatic growth in our ties as we weathered the global pandemic over the past year and a half. The achievements we have reached together during that time are a true testament of the determination and creativity that we share in our efforts to advance the relationship. And the recent outbreak in Taiwan has brought the United States and Taiwan even closer.
Being the AIT Director at this point in time has been a pleasure and a privilege. I believe this award signifies both the current robust strength of the U.S.-Taiwan relationship and also the potential for it to continue to grow and develop. Even after my departure, I look forward to continuing to contribute to our joint efforts to further strengthen this vital relationship.” – AIT Director Christensen.
