Remarks from five allies backing Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change are deeply appreciated by the government and people of Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Nov. 10.
During the Nov. 6-7 Leaders Summit at the 30th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC held in Belem, Brazil, Taiwan’s allies Eswatini, Palau, the Marshall Islands, St. Kitts and Nevis and Tuvalu all expressed their staunch support.
Eswatini’s Prime Minister Russell Dlamini stressed the importance of leaving no one behind. He said that the global community should unite and include all members to confront one of the greatest challenges humanity has ever faced, and pointed out that Taiwan remains excluded from full participation in the process.
Palauan President Surangel Whipps Jr. said that a solution for climate change will require the participation of all partners, including Taiwan, which harnesses technology to help achieve the global green transition. Foreign Minister Kalani Kaneko of the Marshall Islands emphasized that his country has long called for Taiwan’s participation in the UNFCCC and that every country has the right to speak at COP meetings.
Minister of Environment Joyelle Clarke of St. Kitts and Nevis said that small island developing states need partners and cited Taiwan’s help in her country’s electrical grid modernization. Maina Vakafua Talia, Tuvalu’s minister of home affairs, climate change and environment, said cooperation is the top priority and Taiwan should be in the equation.
According to the MOFA, as a responsible member of the international community, Taiwan will continue to work closely with allies and like-minded partners to make contributions to the global effort to address climate change. (YCH-E)
