Yes. Thank you for this question.
It is quite important for Taiwan to maintain a number of diplomatic allies in the world, because doing so is highly related to our self-identification as a sovereign state.
In the past few years, especially when China has squeezed Taiwan's diplomatic allies and asked them to change their recognition, this has not been good for Taiwan. As long as we have diplomatic allies, we can tell ourselves and also the world that Taiwan is a sovereign state. Under the United Nations, we can see that our diplomatic allies, from time to time, including Canada and ICAO, also express their support for Taiwan. This is very important. For our international participation, at this moment I think it is complementary to our presence in the international community, but in the long run, I think these two things are not mutually exclusive. They are both important to Taiwan's diplomatic survival in the world.
I do hope that Canada and our friends around the world can continue to support Taiwan in the international community.
Thank you.
