蔡英文總統就職演說全文：兩岸關係部分

第四、區域的和平穩定發展及兩岸關係

新政府要承擔的第四件事情，是區域的和平穩定與發展，以及妥善處理兩岸關係。過去三十年，無論是對亞洲或是全球，都是變動最劇烈的時期；而全球及區域的經濟穩定和集體安全，也是各國政府越來越關切的課題。

台灣在區域發展當中，一直是不可或缺的關鍵角色。但是近年來，區域的情勢快速變動，如果台灣不善用自己的實力和籌碼，積極參與區域事務，不但將會變得無足輕重，甚至可能被邊緣化，喪失對於未來的自主權。

我們有危機，但也有轉機。台灣現階段的經濟發展，和區域中許多國家高度關聯和互補。如果將打造經濟發展新模式的努力，透過和亞洲、乃至亞太區域的國家合作，共同形塑未來的發展策略，不但可以為區域的經濟創新、結構調整和永續發展，做出積極的貢獻，更可以和區域內的成員，建立緊密的「經濟共同體」意識。

我們要和其他國家共享資源、人才與市場，擴大經濟規模，讓資源有效利用。「新南向政策」就是基於這樣的精神。我們會在科技、文化與經貿等各層面，和區域成員廣泛交流合作，尤其是增進與東協、印度的多元關係。為此，我們也願意和對岸，就共同參與區域發展的相關議題，坦誠交換意見，尋求各種合作與協力的可能性。

在積極發展經濟的同時，亞太地區的安全情勢也變得越來越複雜，而兩岸關係，也成為建構區域和平與集體安全的重要一環。這個建構的進程，台灣會做一個「和平的堅定維護者」，積極參與，絕不缺席；我們也將致力維持兩岸關係的和平穩定；我們更會努力促成內部和解，強化民主機制，凝聚共識，形成一致對外的立場。

對話和溝通，是我們達成目標最重要的關鍵。台灣也要成為一個「和平的積極溝通者」，我們將和相關的各方，建立常態、緊密的溝通機制，隨時交換意見，防止誤判，建立互信，有效解決爭議。我們將謹守和平原則、利益共享原則，來處理相關的爭議。

我依照中華民國憲法當選總統，我有責任捍衛中華民國的主權和領土；對於東海及南海問題，我們主張應擱置爭議，共同開發。
兩岸之間的對話與溝通，我們也將努力維持現有的機制。1992年兩岸兩會秉持相互諒解、求同存異的政治思維，進行溝通協商，達成若干的共同認知與諒解，我尊重這個歷史事實。92年之後，20多年來雙方交流、協商所累積形成的現狀與成果，兩岸都應該共同珍惜與維護，並在這個既有的事實與政治基礎上，持續推動兩岸關係和平穩定發展；新政府會依據中華民國憲法、兩岸人民關係條例及其他相關法律，處理兩岸事務。兩岸的兩個執政黨應該要放下歷史包袱，展開良性對話，造福兩岸人民。

我所講的既有政治基礎，包含幾個關鍵元素，第一，1992年兩岸兩會會談的歷史事實與求同存異的共同認知，這是歷史事實；第二，中華民國現行憲政體制；第三，兩岸過去20多年來協商和交流互動的成果；第四，台灣民主原則及普遍民意。





4. Regional Peace and Stability and Cross-Strait Relations

The fourth area for the new government to address is regional peace, stability and development, as well as the proper management of cross-Strait relations. Over the past 30 years, Asia and the world have undergone dramatic changes. And governments have become increasingly concerned over global and regional economic stability and collective security.

Taiwan has always played an indispensable role in the region’s development. But in recent years, regional dynamics have been changing rapidly. If Taiwan does not effectively use its strengths and leverage to proactively participate in regional affairs, it will not only become insignificant, it may even become marginalized and lose the ability to determine its own future.

But where there is crisis, there is opportunity. The present stage of Taiwan’s economic development is highly connected and complementary with many countries in the region. If our efforts to build a New Model for Economic Development can be linked to other Asian and Asia-Pacific countries through cooperation, to jointly shape future development strategies, we will not just contribute to the region’s innovation. We will also contribute greatly to the region’s structural adjustment and sustainable development. Together with other members of this region, we will forge an intimate sense of “economic community.”

We will share resources, talents and markets with other countries to achieve economies of scale and to allow the efficient use of resources. This is the spirit on which our “New Southbound Policy” is based. We will broaden exchanges and cooperation with regional neighbors in areas such as technology, culture and commerce, and expand in particular our dynamic relationships with ASEAN and India. We are also willing to engage in candid exchanges and pursue possibilities for cooperation and collaboration with the other side of the Strait on our common participation in regional development.

As we actively develop our economy, the security situation in the Asia-Pacific region is becoming increasingly complex. Cross-Strait relations have become an integral part of building regional peace and collective security. In this process, Taiwan will be a “staunch guardian of peace” that actively participates and is never absent. We will work to maintain peace and stability in cross-Strait relations. We will make efforts to facilitate domestic reconciliation, strengthen our democratic institutions, consolidate consensus, and present a united position to the outside world.

For us to accomplish our goals, dialogue and communication are absolutely crucial. Taiwan will also become a “proactive communicator for peace.” We will establish mechanisms for intensive and routine communications with all parties involved, and exchange views at all times to prevent misjudgment, establish mutual trust, and effectively resolve disputes. We will handle related disputes in adherence to the principles of maintaining peace and sharing interests.

I was elected President in accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of China, thus it is my responsibility to safeguard the sovereignty and territory of the Republic of China; regarding problems arising in the East China Sea and South China Sea, we propose setting aside disputes so as to enable joint development.

We will also work to maintain the existing mechanisms for dialogue and communication across the Taiwan Strait. In 1992, the two institutions representing each side across the Strait (SEF & ARATS), through communication and negotiations, arrived at various joint acknowledgements and understandings. It was done in a spirit of mutual understanding and a political attitude of seeking common ground while setting aside differences. I respect this historical fact. Since 1992, over twenty years of interactions and negotiations across the Strait have enabled and accumulated outcomes which both sides must collectively cherish and sustain; and it is based on such existing realities and political foundations that the stable and peaceful development of the cross-Strait relationship must be continuously promoted. The new government will conduct cross-Strait affairs in accordance with the Republic of China Constitution, the Act Governing Relations Between the People of Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area, and other relevant legislation. The two governing parties across the Strait must set aside the baggage of history, and engage in positive dialogue, for the benefit of the people on both sides.

By existing political foundations, I refer to a number of key elements. The first element is the fact of the 1992 talks between the two institutions representing each side across the Strait (SEF & ARATS), when there was joint acknowledgement of setting aside differences to seek common ground. This is a historical fact. The second element is the existing Republic of China constitutional order. The third element pertains to the outcomes of over twenty years of negotiations and interactions across the Strait. And the fourth relates to the democratic principle and prevalent will of the people of Taiwan.
