TAIWAN PRESIDENT APPRECIATES ESWATINI

MBABANE – The Republic of China (Taiwan) has extended its appreciation to the Government of Eswatini for its support at the United Nations 75th General Assembly.

Following Prime Minister Ambrose Mandvulo Dlamini’s advocacy for Taiwan to be part of the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen has expressed her appreciation of the kingdom’s support.

In her official Twitter post, President Tsai Ing-wen thanked the premier for his outspoken support for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the UN. 

Help

“With your help, our voice can be heard so that Taiwan can help more countries around the world,” the president said. 

On Monday, the PM spoke during the UN General Assembly, imploring the international body to fulfil its promise to leave no one behind and invite the nation to join. 

The UN General Assembly began on Monday by commemorating the 75th anniversary of the organisation’s founding. 

When it was the country’s turn to speak, the PM, in a pre-recorded video, said the African nation once again called on the UN not to leave out Taiwan. “We urge the United Nations to open its doors to all the nations in the world and their people,” he stated. The premier went on to say one issue yet to be discussed was that of Taiwan. He emphasised that the East Asian country had played a meaningful role in the implementation of UN development efforts and that it would continue to contribute to the international community. He further said; “Taiwan’s inclusion within our community of nations would be a crucial step towards realising our pledge of leaving no one behind.” 

Credibility

Dlamini said it would not only boost the UN’s legitimacy but also lend credibility to its goals and efforts.  Year in, year out, every September, member States meet in the General Assembly Hall at the UN Headquarters in New York for the annual session and its highly visible general debate.  The country normally has a representation on those meetings.  The modalities of the 75th session differed this year in light of the global health crisis.
