#懷舊星期四 -「台灣作為民主的典範,慷慨的捐助者,以及世界上一股良善的力量,堪稱是我們及其他志同道合國家應對全球最嚴峻挑戰的模範夥伴…其中一個最佳的例子就是公共衛生領域…台灣的公私部門其實沒有義務向其他國家提供協助資源,但台灣卻積極挺身而出做出貢獻,因此,全球各國在 2009 年到 2016 年間,均曾熱烈歡迎台灣以觀察員身分出席世界衛生大會。將台灣拒於門外,不僅違反了各個組織的存續精神,也完全不符常理。」- AIT處長酈英傑於4月15日在國立台灣大學就台灣在全球社會的參與發表演講。演講全文請參考:https://www.ait.org.tw/zhtw/remarks-by-ait-director-christensen-on-tra40-where-weve-been-and-whats-next-zh/
#ThrowbackThursday #TBT “As a democratic role model, a generous donor and a force for good, Taiwan is an exemplary partner for us and for other likeminded countries in addressing the world’s most serious challenges…. One of the best examples of this is in the field of public health…Taiwan does not have to spend its government and private sector resources to help others. But it does so willingly and it has so much to contribute. And that is why the entire world – without exception – welcomed Taiwan to participate in the World Health Assembly as an observer from 2009-2016. Not only does it violate the spirit of these organizations to exclude Taiwan, it also defies common sense.” AIT Director Brent Christensen in an April 15 speech at National Taiwan University on the importance of Taiwan’s participation on the global stage.
