台灣總統賴清德於8月23日訪問金門，參加「823砲戰勝利66週年」紀念活動，這是他上任以來首次訪問金門。賴清德在演講中表示，台灣不再反攻大陸，但也不願被中共統治，台灣將持續加強國防力量，守護台澎金馬，捍衛中華民國。同時，他認為中國對台灣的滲透、宣傳、分化不會停止，中國「拿下台灣」的企圖並非單純的政治議題，而是為了在西太平洋甚至全世界改變以規則為基礎的國際秩序。
為了促進金門的觀光產業發展，國民黨籍金門立委陳玉珍等人組成訪團前往北京，與中國國台辦主任宋濤會面，希望促使中國開放陸客赴金門自由行與團客旅遊。宋濤對此表示正面態度，並強調中國反「台獨」、堅持「九二共識」的立場，同時主張要「積極推動兩岸人員往來正常化、兩岸交流合作常態化」。

Summary: Taiwan President Lai Ching-te visited Kinmen on August 23 to participate in the “66th Anniversary of the Victory of the 823 Artillery Battle”, marking his first visit to Kinmen since taking office. In his speech, Lai Ching-te stated that Taiwan will no longer attack mainland China but will not be willing to be ruled by the CCP. Taiwan will continue to strengthen its national defense, guard Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu, and defend the Republic of China. At the same time, he believes that China’s infiltration, propaganda, and division of Taiwan will not stop, and China’s ambition to “take over Taiwan” is not simply a political issue, but rather an attempt to change the rules-based international order in the Western Pacific and even the world.
To promote the development of Kinmen’s tourism industry, KMT Kinmen Legislator Chen Yu-jen and others formed a delegation to visit Beijing and meet with Song Tao, director of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, hoping to encourage China to open up free travel and group tours for mainland tourists to Kinmen. Song Tao expressed a positive attitude towards this, emphasizing China’s opposition to “Taiwan independence” and its adherence to the “1992 Consensus” while also advocating for the “active promotion of normalization of personnel exchanges between the two sides and the normalization of exchanges and cooperation between the two sides.”
