She reiterated that maintaining the status quo of cross-strait relations is the policy followed by her administration and that the commitments she has made in this regard remain unchanged. In her Friday statement, Tsai also outlined the progress of her promises to transform Taiwan's economic structure, improve Taiwan's social security network, uphold social justice and fairness, and promote the country's foreign relations. On social justice and fairness, a committee has been set up under the Presidential Office to promote transitional justice for indigenous people, and the government is currently organizing a national conference on judicial reform, according to the president. On foreign relations, the president said her two visits to Central and South America have helped strengthen Taiwan's relations with its diplomatic allies in that region. Taiwan's relations with Japan have also been moving forward, as seen in the renaming of the semi-official Association of East Asian Relations (亞東關係協會) as the Association of Taiwan-Japan Relations (台灣日本闗係協會), she said.
