中央社記者報導

台灣歡迎美國與中國透過對話降低戰爭風險的努力,但必須尊重第二次世界大戰的歷史記錄與台灣人民存在的權利,總統威廉·賴清德(賴清德)昨天在雙十國慶致詞中如是表示。

面對中國持續的「灰色地帶」壓力,台灣已增加國防預算,並透過結合政府與民間能力來提升社會整體防衛能力,賴清德說。

這些努力不是挑釁,而是確保對話能在「尊嚴與平等」的基礎上進行,他說。

「我們歡迎美國與中國透過對話管理競爭、降低衝突與戰爭風險」,他說。「但我們也必須指出,維持區域安全、和平與穩定需要正確理解歷史如何發展。」

「必須不容許歪曲第二次世界大戰的歷史。必須尊重台灣人民存在的權利」,賴清德說。「我們開放交流,但不接受從屬。」

台灣正「一步步走得更遠,持續推動外交」,他說,並引用他五月訪問埃斯瓦蒂尼——台灣在非洲唯一的盟友——的例子,儘管中國曾試圖阻撓該行程。中國曾施壓三個非洲國家,拒絕其包機進入領空,導致初訪延遲。

他也以副總統蕭美琴(蕭美琴)六月訪問帕勞——另一個台灣盟友——為例,並提及她上個月在義大利維爾倫特自由與民主歐洲會議上的演講。

台灣已與國際夥伴在醫療、農業、能源、科技、教育與永續發展等領域合作,以滿足對方需求,並透過這些努力改善人們的生活,賴清德說。

「『台灣可以幫助』不只是一句口號。這是一個承諾——我們願意分享我們的能力並承擔責任」,他補充說。

The U.S. and Russia reached energy cooperation. Zelensky felt "betrayed" and the U.S. president suggested that Ukraine change its leader.

After a phone call on October 9, the presidents of the United States and Russia announced that they had reached an agreement on Russia’s supply of diesel to the United States, and the U.S. Treasury Department relaxed its diesel trade sanctions on Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky repeatedly expressed disappointment and said he felt betrayed. Trump did not respond directly but suggested replacing the Ukrainian president the next day. Experts pointed out that this cooperation is tactical but difficult to change the global energy game pattern.
