Deputy Foreign Minister Chen Ming-chi said that the world needs partnerships that can withstand crises and pressure and that international cooperation must be built on trust and shared responsibility.
Chen made the remarks while giving a speech at the closing ceremony of the Global Initiatives Symposium July 3 in Taipei City. Founded in 2008, the forum is organized by students from National Taiwan University in the capital, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, adding that the annual event draws students from around the world to exchange views on major issues.
In his speech, titled “Bond and Beyond: Building Trust in a Divided World,” Chen said that challenges including energy security, geopolitical competition, the COVID-19 pandemic, the rapid development of artificial intelligence and supply chain restructuring have prompted the international community to place greater emphasis on economic security and building resilient cooperative networks.
Addressing Taiwan’s role, Chen said the MOFA has been actively advancing the integrated diplomacy initiative proposed by Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung, which seeks to deepen global cooperation based on shared democratic values and Taiwan’s industrial and technological strengths. He added that Taiwan is committed to working with like-minded partners to promote regional peace and stability.
Taiwan is willing to share its experience combating authoritarian expansion, cognitive warfare and disinformation with the international society to help tackle common threats, Chen added.
The deputy minister concluded by encouraging participants to cherish connections built during the event and to continue fostering cross-cultural cooperation to overcome shared challenges. (POC-E)
