And, speaking of our great servicemen and women… no diplomat can succeed without the raw power and professionalism of a great military. Blessings to each of you and your families. Your excellence gave me and my team strength. From a veteran… Thank you. pic.twitter.com/xhdcrIkrQ4

I will never stop fighting for America First, even after my time as Secretary of State. There is always more work to be done and I look forward to continuing to share and engage with you on what's next. If you haven't already, please be sure to follow me @mikepompeo.

Strong U.S. leadership is building a future of peace, coexistence, and religious freedom. @USEAntiSemitism has signed another historic MoU in the Arab world to combat all forms of anti-Semitism, including anti-Zionism and the delegitimization of Israel. https://t.co/BO0zmlGyPK

Since March, we have virtually onboarded and welcomed more than 400 Civil Service and 414 Foreign Service colleagues to our team, surpassing our overall Foreign Service hiring goals. pic.twitter.com/LgydN4nZlx

We streamlined the Civil Service hiring process, resulting in a net gain of 500 Civil Service hires for the @StateDept, getting the right talent into the right positions to serve the American people. pic.twitter.com/TyfExacyMe

Honored to speak with @ScottMorrisonMP about the unbreakable bond between our two countries and reviewing all that we have accomplished. The U.S.-Australia Alliance has never been stronger and will continue to grow in importance as we work to build a free and open Indo-Pacific. pic.twitter.com/lOAqtYZJtn

I tasked Counselor Brechbuhl with crafting a Professional Ethos Statement for the Department. A clear, concise enunciation of how we champion American Diplomacy. pic.twitter.com/w08tq74TEI

In two days, we will undergo a transition of power. I hope America will stay the course and keep putting America First as we have the past 4 years. Follow me @mikepompeo.

I’ve read over and over that the State Department has been decimated. Really? We’ve built a culture driven by an ethos statement for the first time ever. There are nearly as many Foreign Service Officers today as there were in January 2017. pic.twitter.com/KBIi4eJWuN

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. devoted his life to upholding the unalienable rights of all Americans. Today we honor his work in advancing social justice and equality in the United States by serving our communities and country. pic.twitter.com/se3mGUJUrn

Deeply troubled by Russia's decision to arrest Aleksey Navalny. Confident political leaders do not fear competing voices, nor see the need to commit violence against or wrongfully detain, political opponents.

The CCP is the central threat of our time. CCP authoritarianism isn't the future the free world wants … but it's the future we'll have if we let our guard down again. pic.twitter.com/ARqmG689ER

It takes a team to turn the tide on the CCP. So many responsible for the good work. Here are just a few of them. Thank you all. pic.twitter.com/3wAxc6TOW5

The Trump Administration changed the global conversation on China. We exposed the Chinese Communist Party's hostility to the free world and built out coalitions to push back on Beijing's bad behavior. pic.twitter.com/k2QRkgexBk

No one has done more to advance the noble cause of religious freedom than our great team. I will never stop fighting for this very important right. Follow me @mikepompeo https://t.co/03rFRuz2BG

Above all, it’s critical that as Americans, we see China as it is, not as we wish it were. In October 2019, I shared my views on the China Challenge: https://t.co/wRPp70Kz2d

I revoked decades-old, self-imposed restrictions on U.S. officials' interactions with Taiwan counterparts. We shouldn't degrade our relationship with a reliable partner and fellow democracy to appease Communist China. https://t.co/aRBw1jNpQX

We concluded a Science and Technology agreement and launched an education initiative focused on Mandarin and English training. We know Taiwan is a #ReliablePartner and a force for good – we're proud of our strong & growing partnership! pic.twitter.com/kR95yXNQLf

In August 2020, @SecAzar visited Taiwan to highlight our health cooperation amid the global COVID-19 fight. Taiwan's President @iingwen led a successful battle against COVID-19. @WHO could learn A LOT from Taiwan. #TaiwanCanHelp pic.twitter.com/EC4SC03SJQ

The Trump Administration built from nothing a strong base of support from like-minded partners to counter malign CCP actions at @UN. Where we once were the only voice, we now have joint statements on Hong Kong autonomy & human rights abuses in Xinjiang. #MeaningfulMultilateralism pic.twitter.com/0Djhb026W1
