On the recordSeptember 11, 1996
On July 17, the European Parliament passed a resolution urging that Taiwan be granted greater recognition in international organizations, and calling for a study of the issues surrounding Taiwan's participation in the United Nations. I find this resolution both impressive and appropriate, Mr. President, and I fully agree that Taiwan deserves a greater role in international organizations. The Republic of China is a full democracy, with a remarkably successful economy. Furthermore, Taiwan plays an important role in world affairs. It is high time that Taiwan be accorded its well-deserved stature in international organizations. Mr. President, I find it gratifying that Taiwan has won this recognition aforementioned from the European Parliament.
