TAIPEI (TVBS News) — President Lai Ching-te (賴清德) expressed gratitude to Indigenous athletes representing Taiwan on the international stage, such as those participating in the Olympic Games Paris 2024, on Thursday (Aug. 1). He also acknowledged the contributions of Indigenous people in various sectors, including the military, police, firefighting, healthcare, and education.
