■ 嚴正駁斥中國外交部錯誤言論打壓我國主權！

日前中國外交部謬稱我國參與國際組織需先經過同意，阻撓我國參加今年第79屆 ，外交部強烈抗議與譴責此種貶損我國主權的錯誤言論，並嚴正重申：

🔺中華民國台灣是主權獨立國家，與中華人民共和國互不隸屬。

🔺我國參與國際組織的權利，是基於主權的「正當合法權利」，中國無權置喙與阻撓。

🔺二戰結束後，具有國際法效力的《 #舊金山和約》取代《開羅宣言》及《波茲坦公告》等政治聲明，該和約並未將台灣交給中華人民共和國，中華人民共和國更從未統治過台灣！

🔺「聯大第2758號決議」及「WHA第25.1號決議」均未提及台灣，不能用於排除我國參與聯合國體系及其他國際組織。

外交部深信健康是基本人權，不應受政治干預，台灣醫療實力與疫情防治成果全球有目共睹，呼籲 秘書處應秉持專業與中立，拒絕中國政治干預，讓台灣為全球公衛貢獻心力！

■ MOFA condemns and denounces in the strongest terms the PRC’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs for issuing false statements on May 11 that sought to downgrade Taiwan’s sovereignty. These remarks included the inappropriate citation of China’s so-called “one China principle” and the spurious claim that Taiwan’s inclusion in international organizations required approval. They were aimed at obstructing Taiwan’s participation in the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA).

🔺The Republic of China (Taiwan) is a sovereign and independent nation and neither it nor the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is subordinate to the other.

🔺Taiwan has the right to participate in such international organizations as the United Nations. And China has no right to comment or interfere with this.

🔺Following World War II, the Treaty of San Francisco—which has the force of international law—replaced political declarations such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation. The treaty did not grant sovereignty over Taiwan to the PRC, and the PRC has never governed Taiwan. Taiwan has never been part of the PRC.

🔺MOFA once again underscores that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 and WHA Resolution 25.1 make no mention of Taiwan. Thus, the resolutions cannot serve as a basis for precluding Taiwan’s participation in the UN system or other international organizations.

MOFA emphasizes that health is a fundamental human right and should not be subject to political interference. Taiwan’s contributions to global epidemic prevention and public health have been internationally recognized. It is an indispensable, constructive partner of the global health system. MOFA urges the WHO Secretariat to uphold professionalism and neutrality, reject political interference by China, and promptly invite Taiwan to participate in the WHA as an observer to enable Taiwan to make greater contributions to global public health.

美國「哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞網」刊播陳次長受訪內容 強調 #台美夥伴關係！

陳明祺次長日前接受美國「哥倫比亞廣播公司新聞網」(CBS News)專訪，聚焦台灣議題在美中關係間的重要性，並說明我國在台美夥伴關係、中國對區域安全造成的挑戰，以及台灣人民堅拒中國「一國兩制」等議題的立場。

專訪重點 🔈

📍台美夥伴關係具有互利基礎，台灣相信美國對台灣的承諾，是台灣可靠的夥伴。

📍中國在南海及東海的行徑日益具侵略性，並持續擴張軍力、進行常態化軍事演習。

📍台灣曾經歷威權時代，深知民主得來不易，因此格外珍惜，絕大多數台灣人民不會接受一國兩制。
