We will strive to make Taiwan a better place and enable our people to live better lives.

A defensive referendum is for avoiding war and to help keep the Taiwanese people free of fear.

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.

Through mutual understanding, sincerity and goodwill, and with great wisdom and broad views, the leaders on both sides should jointly initiate new opportunities for peace, stability, cooperation and mutual benefit.

The grandeur and strength or our people and democracy are as big as a forest.
