The Executive Yuan will broadcast the weekly post-Cabinet meeting press conference live on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3f3VbRj62k) at roughly 11 a.m. tomorrow. At that time, citizens may also discuss policies with government officials on this page.
Tomorrow's event will be a pilot run testing whether the event's software and hardware setup run smoothly and how agencies adapt to discussion through a chat room format. Henceforth this broadcast and chat will be a weekly event, and other live webcasts and discussions between government officials and citizens will also be planned.
Through this timely innovation, citizens interested in politics can conveniently, instantly and directly receive information about the Cabinet's decisions firsthand, Executive Yuan Spokesperson Sun Lih-chyun stated.
Every Thursday morning, the premier hosts a Cabinet meeting to discuss major bills and decisions, which the spokesperson elaborates at a press conference afterward. To better facilitate communication with citizens and reach out through new media, this conference will be broadcast live on the Internet tomorrow for the first time. The Executive Yuan invites the public to rationally discuss policies in the chat room, where any suggestions they make can be immediately responded to and become points of reference for the government.
The webcast may commence ahead or behind its scheduled time of 11 a.m. depending on when the Cabinet meeting concludes.
