Besides using power to achieve peace, we must also use diplomacy to achieve peace. And this diplomacy is not just limited to governmental organizations. Those are just one part of the bigger picture. These efforts extend to NGOs and individual lawmakers.

The group has six days of activities on the schedule. Besides raising awareness of their cause, they will also celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at a Taiwanese language school in Washington DC. But the main focus of the trip is UN Resolution 2758. Ahead of their departure, association Chair Lin Yi-min met with Minister Lin Chia-lung to send an open letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres. The NGO is present at many UN-related events, including the World Health Assembly in Geneva and the UN General Assembly in the US. Taking diplomacy into their own hands, they speak up for Taiwan on the world stage.

Especially since the UN’s motto is “Leave No One Behind,” the people of Taiwan should also not be left behind.

We went to the WHO, but they didn’t let us in. We still provided a lot of medical resources, and face masks. Taiwan has been helping out all over the world, assisting every country. We hope the world can see Taiwan.

Government and NGOs hope to stand together with partners around the world to speak up for Taiwan.
