The foreign
ministry says that 14 of Taiwan’s 15 diplomatic allies called for Taiwan’s
inclusion in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change during the recent
COP26 summit in the UK.
Although a
delegation from the Taipei-based Industrial Technology Research Institute was
accredited as an NGO observer during the summit, Taiwan itself is usually
barred from such UN events.
The foreign
ministry says that the 14 allies that spoke in favor of Taiwan’s inclusion in
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change did so in different forms, some
in letter form and others in spoken statements. But the ministry says, this is
overall the most support Taiwan has yet received for its bid for inclusion in
the framework convention.
