However, I must say that I am very happy to see that we have such a positive result for our first referendum in our history and that gives me more confidence in Taiwan's democracy.

We must not demonstrate any arrogance, and we must refrain from any irrational or undemocratic behavior.

If we really love and cherish Taiwan, we should hold our hands in unity to protect our country and our democratic values with the most humble and tolerant hearts.

Secondly I would like to make continuous efforts of stabilising cross Strait relations, eventually reaching peace across the Taiwan strait and stability and security in the Asia Pacific region.

Over the next four years, I will continue to listen to different views and accept different suggestions.

Because we can't communicate, there's a lot of misunderstanding.

Taiwan is an independent, sovereign country.
