A delegation from the European Parliament has told Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen ‘you are not alone’, during their first official visit to the island, in Taipei on Thursday.
MEP Raphael Glucksmann praised Taiwan as a ‘vivid’, ‘robust’ and ‘enlightening’ democracy which should be protected by ‘democrats around the world.’
“You are not alone. Europe is standing with you, by you, in the defence of freedom and the defence of rule of law and human dignity,” continued Glucksmann.
The MEP went on to express admiration for Tsai’s ‘capacity of building such a strong democracy’ whilst being confronted with threats from China.
The visit came at a time of heightened tensions between Taiwan and the mainland, with China having long asserted its sovereignty over the self-governing island.
In October, China’s foreign ministry criticised the EU in its push for stronger EU-Taiwanese relations.
SOT, Raphael Glucksmann, Member of European Parliament: “Taiwan is today the most vivid, the most robust and the most enlightening democracy in this region. It is a treasure that all democrats around the world should cherish and protect.”
SOT, Raphael Glucksmann, Member of European Parliament: “We came here with a very simple, very clear message. You are not alone. Europe is standing with you, by you, in the defence of freedom and the defence of rule of law and human dignity. You mentioned the resolution that the European Parliament has passed two weeks ago in Strasbourg. We recognised Taiwan as a, I quote, key like-minded partner and democratic ally, and we encourage strongly for increased economic, scientific, cultural, political and people-to-people exchanges, meetings, and cooperation between the EU and Taiwan, including at the most senior levels.”
SOT, Raphael Glucksmann, Member of European Parliament: “We have very strong differences between us, but we are all of us here, united in the support for Taiwanese democracy, and we came here to start this agenda of more senior relations. It is high time for the European Union to step up its cooperation with Taiwan.”
SOT, Raphael Glucksmann, Member of European Parliament: “And we came here to learn from you. To learn from your capacity of building such a strong democracy while being confronted with such a level of threats and interferences.” *MULTIPLE SHOTS AT SOURCE*
SOT, Raphael Glucksmann, Member of European Parliament: “We are all in the same boat in this worldwide confrontation between authoritarian regimes and democracies, and it’s high time for us in the European Union to show that we are in this same boat. So our visit should be considered as an important first step, but next we need a very concrete agenda of high-level meetings and high-level concrete steps together to build a much stronger EU-Taiwan partnership.”
