Lai Ching-te sworn in as Taiwan's new president

Lai became the fifth democratically-elected president during a 9 a.m. ceremony followed by the confirmation of Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) as vice president. Joined by Hsiao and outgoing president Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文), Lai briefly greeted crowds before delivering his inaugural speech at 11 a.m.

Beginning with a greeting in Taiwanese and Mandarin, Lai’s inaugural speech emphasized the importance of Taiwan’s democracy and sovereignty. The new president said his government will continue to build on the work carried out by Tsai over the past eight years.
