President Yen called President Chiang's passing was "an irretrievable loss to our people, our country and the world," said Yen, "however, his spirit continues to illumine our way like the sun in the heavens or a beacon on pitch-black nights."
嚴總統在會中致詞說：蔣公的與世長辭，不論是對國家民族，對世界人類，都是無可補償的損失，但其精神如宇宙的太陽，如黑夜的明燈，光輝照耀。
