US Ambassador to UN Praises Taiwan’s Efforts in Curbing Pandemic
TAIPEI, Taiwan U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft applauded Taiwan’s success in containing the spread of the CCP virus, during a videoconference with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen Thursday morning.
“We discussed the many ways Taiwan is a model for the world, as demonstrated by its success in fighting COVID-19 and all that Taiwan has to offer in the fields of health, technology & cutting-edge science,” Craft wrote on Twitter following her call with Tsai.
Craft added: “Unfortunately, Taiwan is unable to share those successes in @UN venues, including the World Health Assembly, as a result of PRC [People’s Republic of China] obstruction. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it is that more information, more transparency, is part of the answer.”
