Thank you very much for the question.
I would say that that Taiwanese ODA has been quite limited for the last few years. Compared to the U.K., Sweden, or even Canada, it remains a very tiny percentage of Taiwan's GDP. Taiwan could do even more. Taiwan is doing that not only with its “diplomatic allies”, the term that Taipei uses to mention the 14 countries that have diplomatic relations with the Republic of China. The political regime in Taiwan is of course trying to expand these supports.
I think we need to be clear that in the Indo-Pacific, there is a huge potential for multilateral co-operation projects, which the Taiwanese could be part of. As you may know, Canada, with France, Australia, New Zealand and the EU, through the Kiwa initiative, has a huge co-operation project in the South Pacific to promote biodiversity, and countries, NGOs or non-governmental bodies can join. Why not offer Taiwan to join if they can fund, like we fund, these kinds of initiatives?
Once again, the idea is not to change the one China policy that each of our countries implements but to make sure we can integrate Taiwan as much as possible, including and especially when we are all together addressing global issues, and of course climate change, biodiversity and environmental issues in the Indo-Pacific are some of them.
