第81屆聯合國大會即將於下週二（9月8日）登場，台灣作為國際社會重要且負責任的一份子，長期與世界各國攜手面對氣候變遷、公共衛生、永續發展等全球挑戰，也持續運用自身經驗與專業，為國際社會貢獻力量。

我們期待並呼籲聯合國落實「不遺漏任何人」的精神，讓台灣以適當方式、有意義地參與聯合國體系，讓台灣2300萬人民的聲音被世界聽見。

---

The 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) begins next Tuesday, 8 September. This year’s General Debate theme is “Better together: 80 years and beyond for peace, development and human rights.”

As a responsible and committed member of the international community, Taiwan has long worked with countries around the world to address global challenges, including climate change, public health and sustainable development. We also continue to contribute our experience and expertise to the international community.

We look forward to, and call on, the United Nations to uphold the spirit of “leaving no one behind” by enabling Taiwan to participate appropriately and meaningfully in the UN system, so that the voices of Taiwan’s 23 million people can be heard by the world.

■ 呼籲聯合國 #不遺漏任何人，盡速接納台灣參與！

第81屆「聯合國大會」將於今年9月8日開議，總辯論主題為「恢復信任、應對轉型：一個普惠全民的聯合國」。

葛葆萱次長日前召開記者會，向國人說明今年政府推動參與聯合國的訴求及策略，重點包含：

1⃣ #聯大第2758號決議 並未排除台灣有意義參與聯合國體系，聯合國應尋求適當方式接納台灣的參與，以利台灣對加速實現聯合國「永續發展目標」作出具體貢獻。

2⃣ 我國堅持維護台海現狀，並全力守護台海的和平與穩定。維持台海現狀不僅被國際社會高度認同與信賴，獲得民主夥伴的支持，更是台灣民意的共識。台海的和平與穩定，是世界安全與繁榮的必要元素。

3⃣ 台灣向聯合國與國際社會承諾和平解決爭端，並堅定維護國際法秩序。任何破壞台海現狀的企圖與作為，就是破壞「聯合國憲章」中禁止使用武力與要求和平解決爭端的原則。

此外，林佳龍部長也將發表專文「恢復信任：台灣在自由世界應有的正當地位」，親自向全球各界說明我國政府立場，強調聯合國必須遵循其憲章，公平正義對待國際社會所有成員，才能重拾國際社會的信任。

台灣是國際社會重要且負責任的一員，與世界各國共同面對全球挑戰，也是聯合國 #應對轉型 不可或缺的關鍵力量。我國政府再次呼籲聯合國儘速尋求適當方式納入台灣，以落實「不遺漏任何人」的承諾，以及 #普惠全民聯合國 的目標。

■ Taiwan actively promotes UN participation, calls for a UN that delivers for all

The 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly will open on September 8 at the UN headquarters in New York. The theme of this year’s General Debate will be “Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations that Delivers for All.”

MOFA Vice Minister Baushuan Ger held a special press conference on September 1 to communicate to the public the Taiwan government’s 2026 campaign and strategy for promoting Taiwan’s UN participation, highlighting:

1⃣ UNGA Resolution 2758 neither dealt with Taiwan’s sovereignty nor precluded Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the UN system. The UN should identify appropriate ways of including Taiwan’s participation in the UN system so that Taiwan can contribute its expertise and experience to help accelerate the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

2⃣ Firmly maintaining the status quo and ensuring peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is the mainstream public opinion in Taiwan and the widely held and staunch position of the international community. It has also received extensive support among Taiwan’s democratic partners. Peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait are indispensable to global security and prosperity.

3⃣ Taiwan is committed to the peaceful settlement of disputes and staunchly defending the international legal order. Any attempts or actions to disrupt the status quo across the Taiwan Strait contravene the principles enshrined in the UN Charter prohibiting the threat or use of force and requiring the peaceful settlement of disputes.

Minister Lin Chia-lung published an op-ed entitled “Restoring trust: Taiwan’s rightful place in the free world” to communicate the Taiwan government’s stance to the world. The op-ed underlines that only by following the principles set out in the UN Charter and treating every member of the international community in a fair and just manner can the UN win back the international community’s confidence.

As an important stakeholder in the international community, Taiwan stands ready to face global challenges alongside global partners, and is an indispensable and vital force in the UN’s efforts to manage transformation. The government of Taiwan once again calls on the UN system to recognize the legitimate right of the 23.5 million people of Taiwan to participate in international affairs and to promptly seek appropriate ways to include Taiwan. Only in this way can the UN truly realize its commitment to leave no one behind and being a UN that delivers for all.

這個暑假，電影《The Odyssey》受到影迷高度關注；而台灣於 2025 年推出的紀錄片《A Chip Odyssey》，也持續在世界各地放映 🎬

Odyssey 一詞源自古希臘神話與荷馬史詩《Odýsseia》，如今常用來形容一段漫長而充滿挑戰的旅程。蕭菊貞導演歷時 5 年，訪問超過 80 位台灣半導體產業關鍵人物，一起回望 1970 年代時局動盪之際，面積僅占全球陸地不到萬分之二的台灣，如何在接下來半個世紀逐步成為全球半導體產業中心——而這一路上，又是哪些「造山者」共同成就了今日的 #護國群山🏔

正在用智慧型手機或筆電瀏覽這則貼文的你，手中可能就握著台灣製造的先進半導體晶片。9 月 18 日 #愛爾蘭文化之夜，一起到都柏林市中心的 Savoy Cinema，看看台灣半導體橫越半世紀的旅程吧！

This summer, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has captured the attention of moviegoers around the world. Meanwhile, Taiwan’s 2025 documentary 𝑨 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝑶𝒅𝒚𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒚 continues its journey across international screens. 🎞

The word “Odyssey” originates from the ancient Greek epic Odýsseia, and today is often used to describe a long and challenging journey. Over five years, director Hsiao Chu-Chen interviewed more than 80 key figures from Taiwan’s industry, looking back to the turbulent 1970s and exploring how — an island accounting for less than 0.01% of the world’s land area — went on to become a global semiconductor powerhouse over the following half-century.

If you’re reading this post on a smartphone or laptop, chances are the device in your hands contains advanced semiconductor chips . 😉

On 18 September, as part of , join us at Savoy Cinema in central Dublin and discover Taiwan’s remarkable half-century semiconductor journey on the big screen!

The from Kaohsiung took the stage at Dublin Unitarian Church on the afternoon of 15 August, welcoming more than 100 audience members across Ireland and filling the historic church with beautiful music.

Evan Furlong, Principal of the Dublin School of Mandarin Chinese and co-organiser of the event, first introduced the chorus, led by renowned vocalist and maestro Wu Hung-Chang. Comprising members from across Taiwan, the chorus has performed in more than 30 countries around the world. For its performance in Ireland ☘️, the chorus prepared a selection of classic songs in Mandarin, Taiwanese Hokkien and Hakka, showcasing the linguistic and musical diversity of Taiwan.

In his remarks, Ambassador Daniel Diann-Wen Tang warmly welcomed the Taiwan Chorus to Ireland and thanked the Dublin School of Mandarin Chinese for its support in making the performance possible. He noted that music 🎼 is an essential part of both Taiwanese and Irish culture: through music, we preserve cultural heritage and living wisdom, while bringing people from diverse backgrounds together.

Ambassador Tang also highlighted the continued deepening of Taiwan 🇹🇼 -Ireland 🇮🇪 relations. Beyond the significant growth in bilateral trades, cultural exchanges between Taiwan and Ireland have continued to flourish. As part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ initiative, the performance offered a wonderful opportunity for Irish audiences to experience the warmth and vibrancy of Taiwan.

The concert opened with a suite performed by Taiwanese pianist 🎹 based in Ireland, Yuyin Lo. Under Maestro Wu’s direction, the chorus then filled the historic church with powerful harmonies, bringing the many faces of Taiwan to life through music.

From Song of Alishan and A Grateful Heart to beloved Taiwanese Hokkien and Hakka songs such as Rainy Day and A Taiwanese Drinking Song, melodies resonated throughout the historic church and reached the hearts of audiences from Taiwan and Ireland alike.

Our sincere thanks to all the performers, audience members and behind-the-scenes teams who made this special afternoon possible. We hope everyone enjoyed a memorable afternoon of music and cultural exchange in Dublin. 🫶
