forthcoming National Day, I wish to offer President Chen Shui-bian and 
his people my best wishes.

areas, economic and political. Economically, the people in Taiwan enjoy 
one of the highest standards in the world; politically, it has a 
vibrant democracy with free elections, respect for human rights and a

they continue to enjoy economic and political successes.
