Deputy Foreign Minister François Chih-chung Wu said that safeguarding peace across the Taiwan Strait is not only a Taiwan issue but a shared interest of the international community.
Wu made the remarks in a recent interview with French YouTuber Hugo Travers for a video published May 31 on the France 5 public television channel and the HugoDécrypte YouTube channel hosted by Travers.
According to Wu, Taiwan is not only critical to global high-tech and semiconductor supply chains, but also key to maintaining international economic stability. Cross-strait peace and stability are closely linked to the interests of Europe, the U.S. and the global community, he said, adding that if a conflict occurs in the strait, international shipping, the global industrial chain and the world economy will be seriously impacted.
Regarding China’s military threat to Taiwan, Wu said that Taiwan is committed to maintaining regional peace and stability through diplomatic cooperation, international support and enhanced self-defense capabilities. Taiwan recognizes the risks and is undergoing comprehensive preparations, demonstrating the country’s resilience, the deputy minister added.
Wu concluded by emphasizing that the goal of Taiwan’s diplomatic work is to prevent conflict and maintain regional peace. (YCH-E)
