President Lai Ching-te attended the '2024 Sailing Together Towards the Blue' launch ceremony today where he gave his well wishes to the young sailors set to embark on their journey, marking the first appearance of a presidential-level guest at the launch ceremony. In response to handmade cards from dozens of young sailors asking if the president likes the ocean, President Lai dressed in a unique manner, wearing a blue floral shirt and sunglasses to match the young sailors' style. The event symbolized Lai's support for the young sailors as they set sail to raise awareness about human relationships with the ocean and in line with the theme of this year's 'World Oceans Day' by the United Nations.
