September 25, 2024

In his remarks before the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on September 24, US President Joe Biden underlined the United States' determination to maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, push back against unfair economic competition, and oppose military coercion in the South China Sea. He added that the United States would continue to strengthen its network of alliances and partnerships across the Indo-Pacific to build a free, open, secure, and peaceful region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes and appreciates President Biden's consistent public support for cross-strait peace and stability during his term in office. Within the past week, in addition to his address at the UNGA, President Biden has reiterated his high regard for and firm commitment to the Taiwan Strait and the Indo-Pacific during meetings with the leaders of Australia and Japan. Taiwan will continue to work with the United States and other like-minded countries to safeguard peace, stability, and prosperity across the Taiwan Strait and throughout the region.
