Taiwan’s exclusion from the UN is “unfair” and “unjustifiable,” Eswatini’s permanent representative to the UN’s Geneva office Vuyile Dumisani Dlamini said yesterday during a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen （蔡英文） in Taipei.
Speaking on behalf of a visiting delegation of UN representatives from Taiwan’s diplomatic allies, Dlamini said the group would continue to advocate for Taiwan’s inclusion as “a member of the United Nations family.”
Dlamini arrived in Taiwan on Monday for a six-day visit, along with the Marshall Islands’ Doreen deBrum, Guatemala’s Angela Maria Chavez Bietti and Nauru’s Chitra Talatoka Jeremiah.
The delegation’s visit came at a time of “a major geopolitical shift in the international fora,” Dlamini said, adding that the four countries and Taiwan should further strengthen their “cooperation in [promoting] peace, security and development.”
“We shall remain your strategic allies,” and work to “nurture the cordial, warm and reciprocal relations” between Taiwan and the four countries, Dlamini told Tsai.
Tsai thanked the delegation for having served as “a driving force” in facilitating Taiwan’s engagement with the world.
She said the government would continue to work to raise awareness about “the importance of Taiwan’s participation in the United Nations and other international organizations.”
After the UN General Assembly passed a resolution in October 1971 to recognize the People’s Republic of China as the only lawful representative of China in the UN, Taiwan declared its withdrawal from the body.
Since then, the country has been unable to take part in the UN and its systems as a member state.
In recent years, Taipei has found itself increasingly left out of UN mechanisms as Beijing ramps up efforts to isolate the country.
