UN Allies Call for Taiwan’s Participation

REPORTER:  
Taipei’s diplomatic allies called for Taiwan’s participation in the UN in a joint letter delivered before the high-level week of the General Assembly.

Taiwan is not a UN member state and has been barred from the organization since 1971, after a resolution transferred its seat representing China to Beijing.

China has since used the resolution to keep Taiwan out of the UN and UN bodies.

Taiwan’s diplomatic allies – including Palau, Belize, the Marshall Islands, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines – delivered the letter to the UN.
