【呼籲各國持續關注維吾爾族人權議題】

加拿大駐聯合國大使諾頓(Leslie E. Norton)日前於 #聯合國人權理事會 第47屆會議代表40多國發表聯合聲明，呼籲中國應允許聯合國人權高級專員等獨立觀察員進入新疆調查是否有任何迫害 #人權 行為，及執行「消除歧視委員會」所規範的準則。

外交部吳部長已多次公開表示 #全球都應關注中國威權主義侵犯人權的行為。

此次多國要求調查中國政府對人權的迫害行為，凸顯了人權議題已經是全球多國的共識與首要之務。世界各國都應該意識到中國侵犯維吾爾族人民權利的專制鎮壓行為。

Over 40 countries, comprising many of our allies and #LikeMindedCountries, issued a joint statement on the #HumanRights violations ongoing in #Xinjiang, echoing many of the concerns previously expressed by MOFA Minister Joseph Wu.

The cross-regional joint statement, detailing concerns over reports of arbitrary detentions, widespread surveillance, torture, forced sterilizations, sexual and gender-based violence and forced separation of parents and children, was delivered by #Canada’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva Leslie E. Norton, during the 47th regular session of the Human Rights Council.

The statement urged China to permit independent observers, including the High Commissioner, and to implement the eight recommendations of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. Every country around the world should be aware of the repressive authoritarian acts of the CCP infringing on the rights of the Uyghur people.

【兩岸關係的現況 和 台灣與南太友邦的合作模式】

外交部吳部長在近日 #澳洲人報 刊出的專訪專文中，詳細說明兩岸關係發展現況、中國在太平洋地區擴張，以及我國與南太平洋友邦良好的合作模式等議題。

🔹兩岸關係現況 - 中華人民共和國從未統治台灣

台灣位於中國威權主義擴張的最前線，中國政府持續透過軍事威脅、假訊息、混合戰、經濟手段及阻撓台灣國際參與等方式侵擾台灣。

台灣擁有自由民主的民選政府，獨立的國防、外交及貨幣系統，為了維持台灣的民主與自由，未來將持續強化國防自衛能力，並且理念相近國家擴大合作。

🔹我國與太平洋友邦之合作 - 「台灣模式」

中國正試圖穿越台灣在內的第一島鏈，積極在太平洋地區擴張，基於地緣戰略因素圖謀掌控索羅門群島與吉里巴斯，利用債務陷阱誘使友邦對中國依賴。

台灣在吐瓦魯、諾魯、帛琉及馬紹爾群島等太平洋國家建立特殊的「台灣模式」，透過此模式提供友邦在農業、醫衛及職訓等領域的援助，嘉惠當地人民，並且成功贏得實質的友好關係。

🔸

台灣與其他理念相近國家共享民主自由價值，與中國極權主義擴張的行徑，形成鮮明對比；我國與太平洋友邦的關係不只證明台灣為國際社會的重要成員，尤其在太平洋地區更是如此，凸顯了「台灣模式」值得許多民主國家仿效。

MOFA Minister Joseph Wu was recently interviewed by The Australian’s Steve Jackson, touching on cross-Strait relations and the Taiwan model of working with our allies in the #SouthPacific.

Minister Wu pointed to the stark contrast between #Taiwan, which shares the values of #freedom and #democracy with #LikeMindedCountries, and China’s expansion of its authoritarian power wherever it ventures, including measures aimed at Taiwan, such as military threats, disinformation campaigns, economic sanctions and interference in Taiwan’s participation in the international community.

Minister Wu stated that the PRC has never ruled Taiwan, which has a democratically elected government and independent national defense, foreign relations, and monetary systems, and that Taiwan is prepared to defend its freedom and democracy against China, so will continue to strengthen its military defense capability and cooperation with like-minded countries.

Minister Wu also called the world’s attention to China’s attempts to push beyond the first island chain and manipulative actions in the Solomon Islands and Kiribati as part of its geopolitical strategy, trapping countries with #DebtDiplomacy.

【日澳2+2會談 首度強調台海和平】

日本及澳洲在6/9舉行外交暨國防部長（2+2）會談，會後聯合聲明中 #首度強調「#台灣海峽和平與穩定的重要性，並鼓勵兩岸議題和平解決」。外交部對此表示高度歡迎與由衷感謝。

台灣位處東亞第一島鏈的重要樞紐，在區域穩定及繁榮上扮演關鍵角色，台海和平與穩定是維護「自由與開放的印太區域」不可或缺的一環。

維持台海和平與穩定的重要性，除了本次的日澳（2+2）會談，在以下會議中都有提及，顯示已獲得美國、日本、澳洲、歐盟等主要民主國家的高度共識。

🔹美日元首峰會 (4月)
🔹G7外長會議 (5月)
🔹美韓元首峰會 (5月)
🔹歐盟日本峰會 (5月)

這次會議由日本外務大臣茂木敏充及防衛大臣岸信夫與會，澳洲由外交部長潘恩（Marise Payne）及國防部長杜登（Peter Dutton）出席，2020年7月9日舉行的日、澳元首峰會，日本及澳洲都曾公開支持台灣參與包括「世界衛生組織」（WHO）等國際組織。

日本與澳洲是我國在印太區域的重要朋友與理念相近夥伴，期待與理念相近國家合作、捍衛民主價值及以規則為基礎的國際秩序，共同維護台海及區域的和平、穩定與繁榮。

MOFA welcomes the underscoring of the importance of peace and stability across the #TaiwanStrait, the call for a peaceful resolution of cross-Strait issues and concerns expressed for unilateral changes to the status quo in the East and South China Seas in a joint statement released after the Ninth Japan-Australia 2+2 Foreign and Defense Ministerial Consultations.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Motegi Toshimitsu and Minister of Defense Kishi Nobuo represented #Japan at the talks, while Minister of Defense Peter Dutton and Minister for Foreign Affairs Marise Payne represented #Australia.

This marks the first time peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait has been referred to in the joint statement, an issue which has featured at a number of important international summits, whether by Australia and Japan, or other democratic partners like the #US and the #EU. A few examples being the US-Japan Summit Meeting, the G7 Foreign Ministers' Meeting, the US-South Korea Summit, and the EU-Japan Summit. Japan and Australia have previously also shown their support for Taiwan’s participation in international organizations like the WHO.
