Why It Matters

台湾与巴布亚新几内亚的农业技术合作始于1990年,医疗合作计划始于2006年。过去10年每年约有三、四十名巴紐学生来台留学,111年达到高峰。外交部长林佳龙7月曾指出,台湾每年向巴紐采购逾120万公吨天然气,约占巴紐天然气产量近三分之一。

巴布亞紐幾內亞(巴紐)政府7月片面宣布關閉我駐巴紐代表處,近日又要求我駐處人員限期離境,外交部已決定主動關閉代表處、撤回所有派駐人員。外交部次長陳明祺今天在立法院外交及國防委員會答詢表示,巴紐在11月與中國簽下液化天然氣(LNG)大單後,隨即要求我方立刻關閉駐館,是「扈從中國」的行為。他直言,中國現在經濟不好,「利誘越來越少,經濟脅迫越來越多」,我方除處理巴紐問題外,在全球都要提高警覺。

陳明祺會前受訪時說明撤離進度。他表示,我駐巴紐館處近期就會撤離,館舍和館長職務宿舍都會解約,公務車輛等館產則透過拍賣處理,預計本月內完成。

民進黨立委羅美玲質詢指出,台灣與巴紐的農業技術合作自1990年就已展開,醫療合作計畫也從2006年開始,如今全面終止,「說喊停就喊停」,令人遺憾。她也引述教育部資料指出,過去10年每年約有三、四十名巴紐學生來台留學,人數在111年達到高峰,之後112年到114年逐年下滑。她質疑這是否是預警,外交部在7月之前是否已掌握徵兆。

外交部亞太司副司長林宏勳答詢說明,外交部是在7月16日接獲巴紐外交部指令,要求關閉代表處。但經部長指示並與政府高層取得共識,我方並未立即撤離,而是留在當地持續與巴紐政府溝通,期間一度取得巴紐書面保證,關閉期限約為1年。不過,巴紐日前有高層代表團訪問中國,巴紐總理下週也將赴中國出席APEC會議。亞太司研判,巴紐政府可能受到中國的施壓或經濟利誘,才在上週五突然通知我方代表及相關人員須在1週內離境。

陳明祺表示,中國全方位打壓台灣的雙邊關係,巴紐的事情「我們不意外,但時間點的選擇上,我們是有點驚訝」,甚至有「被突擊的感覺」。他分析,台灣近一、兩年在東歐等地的外交工作有不錯的進展,也帶給中國很大的壓力。中國因此在其他地方施力,尋求突破口,巴紐事件就是在這樣的脈絡下發生;全球也同時出現好幾起類似案例。

至於目前仍在台灣就學的巴紐學生,陳明祺表示,政府獎學金原本就是在雙邊合作架構下提供,雙邊關係終止後,獎學金確實無法再提供,這也是我方「很不願意做的一個選擇」。但如果學校願意讓學生繼續留下,外交部尊重學校的決定,學生可以留在台灣。他說,過去南太平洋國家與我斷交時,也是比照這樣的方式處理。

外交部6日宣布,基於國家尊嚴、外交自主及整體國家利益,決定主動關閉駐巴紐代表處,並全面終止對巴紐的技術合作及援助計畫,同時停購巴紐50萬噸天然氣現貨。美國國務院7日也表示深感關切,批評這是北京恫嚇台灣的又一例證。外交部長林佳龍7月曾指出,台灣每年向巴紐採購逾120萬公噸天然氣,約占巴紐天然氣產量近3分之1。

The U.S. mid-term elections will see a major change in the Taiwan connection. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The cross-party consensus on friendship with Taiwan remains.

The results of the U.S. midterm elections have been determined, and the Democratic Party will control both the House of Representatives and the Senate in January next year. Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs Chen Mingqi pointed out that 10 of the 38 members of the Taiwan Alliance in the Senate have confirmed their departure, and about 153 of the approximately 220 members of the Taiwan Alliance in the House of Representatives are expected to remain. However, the cross-party consensus on Taiwan friendship and support for the bill remain unchanged. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actively contacting new legislators and promoting the Taiwan-US Double Taxation Avoidance Act to find a legislative vehicle during the transitional session.
