由18国组成的太平洋岛国论坛在帕劳举行的会议原定在昨晚发稿后发布公报,其中可能包括对该试射的正式回应。
帕劳曾邀请台湾以援助伙伴身份参加论坛的边会活动,并呼吁该地区发出强烈信号。
“毫无疑问,这将是我们今天[昨天]讨论的话题,统一的太平洋声音在让北京尊重主权、尊重透明度以及成为负责任的伙伴方面至关重要,”帕劳总统Surangel Whipps Jr对记者说。“
我认为这就是我们应该传达给北京的信息,”惠普斯说。“因此,我们保持统一立场非常重要,我们将为此努力。”
他表示,北京通过此次火箭试射“威胁并真正不尊重”了该地区,监测显示该火箭可能落在所罗门群岛、瑙鲁和图瓦卢之间的海域。
“他们从未告诉我们那正是正在发生的事情,”他说。
北京称该试射是“中国年度军事训练的常规安排”,并称“相关国家已提前得到通知”。
太平洋岛国论坛领导人昨日举行了闭门 retreat,期间官员预计将敲定联合公报的措辞。
与此同时,中国太平洋岛国事务特使Qian Bo(钱波)表示,外交部长林佳龙参加论坛开幕式后将会有“后果”。
周三,台湾及其三个太平洋盟友在联合声明中重申了他们对和平、稳定与繁荣的承诺。
该声明由林佳龙、惠普斯、马绍尔群岛总统Hilda Heine和图瓦卢总理Feleti Teo签署,同时也表达了对2050年蓝色太平洋大陆战略的支持,这是一个旨在应对共同挑战并促进可持续发展的区域框架。
该声明是在由惠普斯主办并同步举行的第三十届台湾/中华民国论坛国家对话期间签署的,该对话是在太平洋岛国论坛框架下进行的。
在台湾论坛上,林佳龙与盟友领导人就人才发展和区域交流交换了意见,中华民国外交部在一份声明中如此说明。
林佳龙提出将教育、培训、就业和技能评估整合,借鉴台湾在职业教育方面的经验,以帮助其盟友培育符合其社会和产业需求的人才,外交部称。
该倡议旨在提升年轻人的就业能力,并为其国家的长期发展建立更强的人才基础。
领导人还探讨了利用盟友资金投资台湾资本市场的可行性,以及在金融、工业和经济发展等领域扩大合作的可能性,外交部称。
尽管国际格局持续变化,台湾一直致力于以务实互惠的方式与其太平洋伙伴合作,以应对共同挑战,林佳龙如是说。

Chinese lawyer Wang Xiahong once defended the "Zion Church", an unregistered underground church in Beijing, and fled to Taiwan after the Chinese authorities pressured her law firm to disband. She is currently seeking assistance in resettling to other countries. The Taiwanese authorities have allowed her to stay in Taiwan temporarily but will not accept political asylum cases from mainland China.

The Pacific Islands Forum Leaders' Summit was held in Palau. In a joint statement, 17 member states condemned China's test-launch of intercontinental ballistic missiles in the region's waters without sufficient advance notice, requiring all test-launching countries to provide at least 24 hours of notice. Only Nauro did not agree.

Ruth Wang, a Chinese lawyer who represented the Zion Church in Beijing, fled to Taiwan to seek resettlement assistance after Chinese authorities put pressure on her law firm and colleagues. She said she was asked to dissolve the firm on her own or face official forced closure. Although the founder of Zion Church, Pastor Kim Myung Il, was released after the intervention of US President Trump, the suppression of the church and its related people continues. Wang Xiahong is currently in transit in Taiwan and is exploring resettlement options such as studying in the United States or Canada, otherwise she will apply for overseas asylum.

In the early morning of September 2, rescue workers gathered outside the cordon set up by China Aneng, waiting for news about opening the road to the Geelong Port. The author stayed in a fire rescue tent the night before and experienced the cold night in the plateau canyon.

An accident involving a passenger minibus in Egypt's Sinai Province caused a flat tire and overturned, killing 22 people and injuring 28 others. Since the beginning of this year, there have been many major traffic accidents in Egypt, mostly involving informal passenger vehicles, reflecting the lack of traffic safety protection for low-income workers. According to statistics, 5,829 people will die in road traffic accidents in 2025, an increase of 10.8% compared with 2024. The government will tighten traffic regulations and vehicle inspections, but low-wage workers still rely on cheap minibuses as their main means of transportation.

Philippine President Marcos Jr. expressed his condolences to the families of the two Filipino crew members of the Saudi Arabian oil tanker "Seda" that was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, and directed the Department of Immigration and Labor to provide assistance. According to data from the Philippine Statistics Authority, there will be approximately 2.19 million overseas workers in 2024, and remittances are an important economic pillar. Since the US-Israeli air strikes on Iran on February 28, 31 ships carrying 421 Filipino crew members have been attacked in the waters, resulting in 3 deaths, 10 injuries, and 1 missing.
