國際自由聯盟(Liberal International)全體會員大會睽違15年重返亞洲,今年首度橫跨泰國、台灣舉行,4日由曼谷移師台北。民進黨立委范雲今(6日)以第一高票當選聯盟執行副主席,成為繼副總統蕭美琴2005年當選後,第二位進入LI領導階層的台灣人。
范雲首先談到此次各國政黨及國會議員對她的支持。她表示,對台灣而言,能夠進入LI領導核心,不僅可以代表台灣串連跨國守護自由的政治力量,更有機會透過LI既有的聯合國倡議管道,進一步拓展台灣的國際空間。
范雲指出,民進黨加入LI至今已超過30年,與國際自由政黨建立深厚情誼。今年LI首度在台灣舉辦大會,儘管中國透過多方管道施壓,LI理事會仍展現無畏態度,多次召開會議建立抗衡機制,讓大會順利舉行。
范雲強調,本次大會通過3項與台灣相關的決議,不僅肯定台灣的民主韌性,更直指民主台灣與威權中國互不隸屬。從堅持來台舉辦大會,到無異議通過挺台決議,都顯示國際盟友對台灣的堅定支持。
范雲自2024年起擔任LI非常任副主席,曾赴智利聖地牙哥、荷蘭海牙參與大會。此次投入競爭激烈的執行副主席選舉,她為爭取各國支持,積極針對不同國家的政治脈絡展開對話,強調台灣與亞洲都能做出更多貢獻。許多代表也主動向她表示,將把第一順位選票投給她。
范雲指出,這份支持代表各國對台灣長期推動民主與人權的信任。她很高興繼蕭美琴後,台灣再次進入LI領導核心。未來兩年,她將與來自英國、丹麥、芬蘭、黎巴嫩及象牙海岸的領導團隊成員合作,期待將此次選舉獲得的支持,轉化為更具體的跨國人權倡議與政治合作,讓台灣為守護全球自由民主做出更多貢獻。
