Taipei, March 11 (CNA) The European Parliament has strongly supported Taiwan's efforts to gain admission to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as an observer, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thursday.
The European Parliament said Taiwan's role in the two international organizations is key to the interests of both the European Union and the rest of the world, the ministry said in a press release.
In a resolution passed a day earlier after reviewing the EU's 2008 Common Foreign and Security Policy submitted by the EU Council, the European Parliament gives its support for Taiwan's participation in the two international organizations as an observer.
The European Parliament says in the resolution that it welcomes the efforts made by both Taiwan and China in improving cross-Taiwan Strait relations, and adds that the developments will help ensure stability and security in East Asia. It also urges both sides to continue dialogue, enhance substantive cooperation and build mutual trust.
The ministry noted that the European Parliament passed two resolutions in February last year extending its support for Taiwan's participation in related international organizations. (By Shih-Hsin-yao and Bear Lee) ENDITEM/J
