TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A delegation of UN ambassadors from Taiwan’s allies arrived on Monday (Dec. 2).

The group includes Ambassador Ilana Seid of Palau, Ambassador Menissa Rambally of Saint Lucia, Ambassador Tapugao Falefou of Tuvalu, and Ambassador Mutryce Williams of Saint Kitts and Nevis, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

During their six-day visit, the delegation seeks to gain insights into Taiwan's political and economic developments and learn about its strengths in digital technology, smart cities, sustainable development, and public health. The ambassadors will also engage Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) and other government officials on UN-related issues and policymaking.

They will attend receptions hosted by Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu (韓國瑜) and Deputy Foreign Minister Tien Chung-kwang (田中光) and also visit the International Cooperation and Development Fund. 

Their trip comes as Taiwan is countering China’s misinterpretation of UN General Resolution 2758, which only addresses UN representation and not Taiwan’s sovereign status. Allies supported Taiwan’s international participation at the 79th UN General Assembly in September. 

Lai Ching-te (賴清德) is on a week-long tour of Taiwan’s South Pacific allies to promote smart sustainability and sustainable democracy. He landed in the Marshall Islands on Tuesday and is scheduled to visit Tuvalu and Palau.
