第十一届立法院今(1)日上任,正副院长由国民党韩国瑜、江启臣当选。江启臣晚间在脸书发声,以中、英文双语感谢立委同仁及选区乡亲,未来将与韩国瑜一起捍卫国会尊严、严守议事中立,也提到「也要将我们的多元民主让世界看见」。

江启臣今晚在脸书发文,「感谢立委同仁,更感谢乡亲让我连任,今天才有机会荣任立法院副院长。未来我会和韩国瑜院长,一起捍卫国会尊严、严守议事中立、确保少数意见,实现多元包容的民主价值,也要将我们的多元民主让世界看见!我们会一起努力,让国会更透明、监督更有力。以民为本、为民发声,不负人民期待。」

值得注意的是,江启臣也特别用英文发布声明,向国际友人说明,他与韩国瑜就职立法院正副院长后会一起努力,捍卫国会尊严,让世界看见台湾的多元民主。而前任立法院长游锡堃任内曾多次接见美国、欧洲等国会议员来访,展现国会外交的重要性。

江启臣脸书英语原文如下:

Thank you to my legislative colleagues and, most importantly, to the citizens who have re-elected me. It is a privilege to serve as the Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Yuan.

As we look towards the future, I am committed to working alongside Speaker Han. Our purpose is to preserve the integrity of our legislature, ensure the neutrality of our deliberations, and amplify the voices of the minority.
