Aingimea said that the Charter of the United Nations was drafted on the basis of the principles of universality and equality, and that it is not sufficient to proclaim the virtues of multilateralism if UN member states do not meet their commitment to the basic principles of the Charter.

“While the world is dealing with the COVID pandemic, the other people in Taiwan should not be left behind, and their exemplary reaction to the global pandemic should not be ignored,” he said. “Taiwan is a vital spouse in the global reaction to this pandemic. Today more than ever, we want inclusion and solidarity to meet global challenges. »
