To strengthen global cooperation on issues of concern to all we believe it is vital to ensure inclusive processes in international organisations. We support Taiwan’s meaningful participation in World Health Organisation forums and the World Health Assembly. The international community should be able to benefit from the experience of all partners, including Taiwan’s successful contribution to the tackling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
•global cooperation 全球合作
•meaningful participation 有意義的參與
•the international community 國際社會
•benefit from 從⋯⋯受益；受益於⋯⋯
我們認為，須於世人都關心的議題上加強全球的合作，最重要的是確保國際組織的包容性進程。我們支持臺灣有意義地參與世界衛生組織論壇（WHO forums）以及世界衛生大會（WHA）。國際社會應得以從所有夥伴的經驗中受益，包括臺灣為因應COVID-19疫情所作的卓越貢獻。

We remain seriously concerned about the situation in and around the East and South China Seas. We underscore the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and encourage the peaceful resolution of cross-Strait issues. We reiterate our strong opposition to any unilateral actions that could escalate tensions and undermine regional stability and the international rules-based order and express serious concerns about reports of militarisation, coercion, and intimidation in the region. We emphasise the universal and unified character of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and reaffirm UNCLOS’s important role in setting out the legal framework that governs all activities in the ocean and the seas. We consider the 12 July 2016 award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal under UNCLOS as a significant milestone and a useful basis for peacefully resolving disputes in the South China Sea.

我們仍嚴重關切東海、南海及周邊情勢。我們強調臺海和平與穩定的重要性，並鼓勵和平解決兩岸問題。我們重申，我們堅決反對任何可能使緊張局勢加劇以及破壞區域穩定、以國際法為基礎的秩序等片面行為，並對該區域中軍事化、威逼與恐嚇的報導表達強烈關切。我們強調《聯合國海洋法公約》（UNCLOS）的普遍性與統一性，並再次聲明《聯合國海洋法公約》對法律框架——管理海洋中的所有活動——的建立有著重要作用。我們將仲裁法庭在《聯合國海洋法公約》的框架下所作出之2016年7月12日裁決，視為一個重大的里程碑以及和平解決南海爭端的有益基礎。
