Why It Matters

驻立陶宛台湾代表处于2021年成立,是欧洲第一个以“台湾”为名的代表处,中国随后将中立外交关系降为代办级,并对立陶宛实施经济制裁。现任立陶宛总理鲁吉尼涅曾说,2021年准许以“台湾”为名是错误,并称有可能将代表处改名为“台北代表处”。

部分外媒近日传来立陶宛要求「驻立陶宛台湾代表处」更名报导。外交部政务次长陈明祺今天(12日)重申,外交部没有任何更改名称的想法。他说明,代表处名称是双方基于友谊与实际需要,共同同意的名称。他也坦言,若名称真的更动,「对我们的双边关系的确会造成一定的冲击,这个毫无疑问」。

根据外媒报导,立陶宛外交部官员9月24日与我驻立陶宛代表王雪虹等3人会面时,递交一份非正式文件,要求代表处在10月1日中国「国庆」前更名。陈明祺日前曾回应,媒体基于「假消息」的推论有损台立互动。但立陶宛总统瑙塞达(Gitanas Nausėda)此后接受专访时证实,立国正在协调更名事宜,并声称现任政府没有义务延续前任政府的政策。

驻立陶宛台湾代表处于2021年成立,是欧洲第一个以「台湾」为名的代表处,中国随后将中立外交关系降为代办级,并对立陶宛实施经济制裁。现任立陶宛总理鲁吉尼涅(Inga Ruginienė)今年曾说,2021年准许以「台湾」为名是错误,并称有可能将代表处改名为「台北代表处」。瑙塞达6月也表示,已向立陶宛现任外交部长布德里斯(Kęstutis Budrys)下「最后通牒」,要修复与中国的关系。

立法院外交及国防委员会今天邀请陈明祺报告「我国参与国际组织近况与工作重点」,并备质询。陈明祺会前受访时表示,台湾在立陶宛设立代表处,是双方共同努力的成果,目的是让两国民众互惠;台立双方在雷射、半导体、教育文化等领域都有很好的推进。他说,在现行名称的安排下,如果能实质推动双边关系,「那就很好」。他也指出,立陶宛总统与总理都一再表示,名称是台湾的决定,他们也尊重。

国民党立委黄建贾质询时提出3个问题。第一,立陶宛政府是否曾正式或非正式要求调整代表处名称,外交部是否收到相关文件。第二,外媒报导立陶宛可能以更名交换副部长级代表团访台、投资合作协议及避免双重课税协议,外交部是否掌握,底线又在哪里。第三,中国这两天也派代表团前往立陶宛,外交部是否评估过台湾议题会成为中立恢复关系的谈判筹码。

陈明祺表示,立陶宛总统瑙塞达也曾说过,立陶宛与中国恢复外交关系不需要以台湾作为代价,外交部「非常欣赏这样的说法」,也希望立陶宛日后处理对台关系时能这样思考。至于双方沟通的细节,他表示,有不方便透露之处,要「给双方留更多的空间」。他说,整体发展动态外交部都有掌握,但双方协商内容还没有完全敲定,不便对外说明。

黄建贾引述外媒报导指称,立陶宛外长布德里斯(Kęstutis Budrys)曾说,相关协商低调进行,一是为了让磋商顺利,二是因应台湾即将举行选举,台湾政府要求保密。他要求,外交部若认为是谣言,就应出面严正驳斥,当年代表处以「台湾」为名,曾被视为重大外交突破,如今若要更名,事情更严重。他并比喻,「女朋友」与「女的朋友」听起来差很多。陈明祺回应,外交部的专业不是处理两性关系,但非常重视与立陶宛的往来,名称也包括在内。

陈明祺说,台立双方互有所需。光通讯现在非常重要,而立陶宛的雷射技术相当不错,我方会在这方面持续合作。他也坦言,过去双方合作「期待确实有一些落差」,外交部正在寻找可以继续深化双边关系的合作项目。

对于立陶宛若坚持要求更名,外交部有何因应对策,陈明祺表示,我方会与区域内外国家沟通,维护双方共识并坚持下去,但也会有「非常多的务实考量」,包括台湾在东欧的整体布局。

黄建贾强调,台湾的外交尊严不能成为他国改善对中关系的交换筹码。陈明祺回应「完全同意」。他指出,立陶宛新政府有一些想法,中国看似庞大的市场往往是诱因,但中国有产能过剩问题,许多国家与中国深化经贸关系后,反而伤害民众福祉。黄建贾要求外交部面对外媒放话时应「硬起来」,陈明祺则说,有委员支持,外交部在态度上可以更坚定。

Gao Jin Sumei’s accusation of “returning my ancestral spirit” was smeared! He angrily said: Ancestor spirits are not a shield for politicians

"Inspiring and enlightening" no one in Taiwan uses it? Netizens criticized Jiang Wanan for overturning the story. He just said it last week

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan described veteran musician Luo Dayou's remarks about politicians being unmarried and having children as "inspiring", raising questions about discrimination against unmarried women without children. Jiang Wanan clarified that she agreed with Luo Dayou's political criticism of the DPP government, but held different views on judging women's contributions based on their marital and childbearing status. Netizens questioned that the word is not commonly used in Taiwan, but it is included in the Chinese dictionary of the Ministry of Education, and the host Tsai Kang-yong also used it last week (miswritten as "deaf and enlightening").

The Mainland Affairs Council revealed that Huang Le entered the country for business 8 times. Xu Zhongxin: Is there a way to charm Huang Renxun after 8 times?

Qiu Chui, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, revealed during a question in the Legislative Yuan that Huang Le, a Chinese female spy who was accused of being Huang Renxun's affair partner, entered Taiwan three times in 2024 and five times in 2025, for a total of eight times. Legislators Hsu Chung-xin and Chang Chi-lun questioned whether his multiple customs clearances as a Hong Kong citizen and business visa were related to Huang Jen-hsun and other technology professionals coming to Taiwan, and asked whether the United States provided intelligence information. Qiu Chuizheng responded that the Mainland Affairs Council has not received relevant information and will not approve entry if there are safety concerns and will strengthen the review.
