This is my first press conference since being sworn in as the eighth president of the Republic of China the day before yesterday. I would first like to express my gratitude to each one of you for being here today, as well as a special welcome to those of you who have traveled great distances to be here today.
登輝前天宣誓就職中華民國第八任總統，今天是任內第一次的記者會，本人首先要對各位的光臨表示感謝，同時也對遠道而來的各國記者女士先生表示歡迎。
