Michael Tsai also suggested that the president write a personal letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Taiwan’s desire to join the UN. He also called on the Legislative Yuan to pass a resolution that would give competent authorities the legal basis to make appeals to the international community to support Taiwan’s joining of the WHO. Since 2003, the alliance has sent annual delegations to the US to advocate for Taiwan’s membership in the UN. The main difficulty Taiwan faces in joining the UN stems from its uncertain status internationally, which leaves other nations with their hands tied, even if they want to support Taiwan, Kau said. The government should speak with its allies and call for a debate in the UN regarding Taiwan’s status, he added.
