林昶佐日內瓦國際記者俱樂部講稿：
感謝日內瓦國際新聞記者俱樂部的邀約，讓我們可以把聲音透過他們給更多國際友人知道。希望此行能把握一分一秒，讓國際知道台灣人民願意為國際貢獻心力。中國所謂的「一中原則」或是聯合國2758決議文，都不是台灣人民可以接受的，期盼國際能支持台灣以正式會員國的身份參與WHO、聯合國等國際組織，讓台灣與世界各國一起為一個美好的地球而努力。

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I’m glad to have this opportunity to share some thoughts with you in Geneva. My name is Freddy Lim, I’m a parliamentarian from Taiwan, and I’m a member of the New Power Party which was founded only about one year ago. The NPP has a lot of support from the young people in Taiwan, and is currently the third largest party in the parliament and represents a new, rising political force. Here, we would like to express our voices to you, hoping that more people around the world would become strong partner and friends of Taiwan to support our efforts in join international organizations, so that we may contribute to the world.
Despite being a country that still has a hard time joining the UN, Taiwan is the 26th largest economy in the world by GDP, and it’s ranked the 16th in terms of total trade amount. We have our own territories, people, elected government, and president. Last Friday, we had our third rotation of power, showing that Taiwan’s democracy is both stable and reliable.
As an important trade partner around the world, Taiwan strives to establish closer business relations with the world under the WTO framework. We’re also actively boosting human rights standards domestically, by not only passing the two UN human rights covenants, but also providing information, skills, funding, and humanitarian aids to the international community with no reserves. Taiwan has a mature public health and national health insurance system, an outstanding biotech industry, as well as rich experiences in researching and developing medicines and vaccines. We believe that, through multilateral medical cooperation, participating in the global epidemic control and becoming an official member of the WHO, we will absolutely contribute in the global fight against diseases.
The complicated history of Taiwan surfaced with the rare mention of UN Resolution 2758 in the WHA invitation to Taiwan. After World War II, the Chiang Kai-shek regime who had nowhere to go after losing the Chinese Civil War was sent to Taiwan by the Allies, where it started a prolonged authoritarian rule. Along with the regime, the international community also threw the “one China” problem to Taiwan. In 1971, the UN passed resolution 2758 to expel the Chiang Kai-shek regime occupied the seat for China. However, Chiang’s regime was not only unrepresentative of China, it did not represent the people of Taiwan either. Taiwan has finally become a young democracy following decades of activism and reforms. Now that the Taiwanese people are extending their efforts to contribute to and participate in different aspects in the world, we sincerely hope that Taiwan would engage in more positive and respectable exchanges with the world as a normal country, to fulfill its obligations as a global citizen.
Like all of you, we firmly stands behind the universal values of freedom, democracy, and human rights, and continuously work for these values. I believe that, based on our shared values, and with your support, Taiwan would absolutely become a reliable and friendly partner. I would like to sincerely thank you for attending the press conference. Let’s stay closer to work for a better world.
Thank you for your time, have a good day.
各位先生、女士，大家好，很高興能夠在日內瓦跟各位分享一些看法。我的名字是Freddy Lim，是台灣的立法委員，屬於台灣僅成立一年的新政黨New Power Party。NPP在台灣獲得年輕人很大的支持，目前在國會是第三大黨，是台灣政治一股新興的力量。在此希望能傳達我們的心聲給各位，並期盼國際上更多友人做台灣堅強的夥伴，支持我們參與國際組織，為世界貢獻一己之力。
台灣，作為一個至今仍難以加入聯合國的國家，我們的GDP是世界第26大經濟體，貿易總額是全球第十六名。我們擁有自己的領土、人民，選自己的政府、總統。上週五，第三度的政黨輪替，展現了台灣穩定以及可靠的民主制度。
作為世界重要的貿易夥伴，台灣在WTO的架構下致力和各國發展更密切的商業關係。我們也積極提升國內人權標準，通過國際人權兩公約，並在國際社會需要時，不吝提供資訊、技術、金錢、人道救援等實質協助。台灣有著相當成熟的公共衛生和健保系統，優異的生技產業，以及多年來在藥物與疫苗的研發上豐富的經驗。我們相信透過多邊醫療合作、參與全球防疫體系，正式參與WHO，我們一定可以為打擊疾病做出貢獻。
這次WHA的邀請函，罕見的提到2758決議文，讓台灣複雜的歷史再次浮上檯面。二戰後，在中國內戰敗退的蔣介石政權無處可去，被同盟國送來了台灣，進行獨裁統治。國際就這樣把「一個中國」的歷史問題丟給了台灣。到了1971年，聯合國做了2758決議，將佔據中國席位的蔣介石政權逐出聯合國。然而，蔣政權不只不能代表中國人民，其獨裁統治更無法代表台灣人民。台灣人民透過數十年的抗爭與改革，終於成為了一個年輕的民主政體。現在，如同台灣人民在國際的各行各業都力求貢獻、熱心參與，我們真誠的期盼，台灣，能以一個正常的國家身分，與世界進行更多正面以及有尊嚴（respect）的交流與合作，履行作為全球公民（Global citizen）一份子的義務與責任。
我們和各位一樣，同樣堅信自由、民主與人權的普世價值，並為此持續不斷的努力。我深信，在我們共同的價值基礎之上，透過各位的支持，台灣絕對能成為一個可靠並且友善的國際夥伴。我誠摯地感謝各位來參加今天的記者會。讓我們更緊密的合作，一起為促進世界為美好而努力！
謝謝你們的時間，祝各位愉快。

感謝日內瓦國際新聞記者俱樂部的邀約，讓我們可以把聲音透過他們給更多國際友人知道。雖然立委是「視導」代表，無法與衛福部進入議場正式與會，但仍然希望此行能把握一分一秒，讓國際知道台灣人民願意為國際貢獻心力，為台灣發聲。中國所謂的「一中原則」或是聯合國2758決議文，都不是台灣人民可以接受的，期盼國際能支持台灣以正式會員國的身份參與WHO、聯合國等國際組織，讓台灣與世界各國一起為一個美好的地球而努力。
明天開始將啟程去蘇黎世，進行一連串的國際媒體專訪。
