The Foreign Ministry acknowledged on Friday the strong support from allies, like-minded countries, and friends from various nations for Taiwan's participation in the UN system. The ministry also noted that Taiwan's allies have submitted another joint letter this year, which was received by a high-level UN official, demonstrating that the UN has taken Taiwan seriously.
Following the conclusion of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly on September 29, the Foreign Ministry stated that Paraguay, the Marshall Islands, Eswatini, Palau, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Tuvalu, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Guatemala all spoke out in support of Taiwan, either through statements or letters.
Czech Republic President Petr Pavel emphasized the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait for the second consecutive year during the UN General Assembly debate. The joint statement following the US-Japan-ROK Foreign Ministers' Meeting and the Australia-UK Ministerial Consultations also reiterated their support for Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations. Irish Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Simon Harris, Swedish Minister of Infrastructure Andreas Carlson, and the EU’s External Action Service publicly expressed their support for Taiwan's efforts to participate in international organizations in response to parliamentary inquiries or media questions.
The Foreign Ministry reported that 349 articles by Minister Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍), op-eds, and news reports from Taiwan's overseas offices were published in 48 countries. The Ministry urged the United Nations to stop yielding to Chinese pressure and to promptly allow Taiwan's full participation, in accordance with the UN's "leave no one behind" principle and the principle of universality, so that all people worldwide can benefit from Taiwan's successful development and democratic experience, and jointly create a better future.
