By Breaking Belize News Staff: Prime Minister John Briceño has renewed Belize’s call for Taiwan to be granted meaningful participation in the United Nations system, highlighting both Taiwan’s longstanding relationship with Belize and its importance to the global technology industry.
During his address to the UN General Assembly, Briceño said Belize remained concerned about the safety and security of Taiwan’s approximately 23 million people, who currently have no representation in the General Assembly.
“Taiwan is a friend of Belize,” Briceño said, noting that the relationship between the two countries has lasted for more than three decades.
Briceño highlighted Taiwanese assistance to Belize in areas including climate resilience, agriculture and public infrastructure.
He also pointed to Taiwan’s central role in international semiconductor manufacturing and its growing involvement in artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies.
Taiwan has not held a seat at the United Nations since 1971, when UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 recognized representatives of the People’s Republic of China as China’s representatives at the organization.
Belize maintains formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan and has repeatedly supported greater Taiwanese participation in international organizations.
“Belize calls once more for Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the United Nations system,” Briceño said.
