Earlier, Taiwan's Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung had named China a 'regional troublemaker' after the Solomon Islands barred Taiwan and other dialogue partners, including the US, from the upcoming Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Leaders' Meeting, Taipei Times reported, citing an Australian daily.
Citing the 'Pacific Way' of inclusiveness, Lin warned that excluding dialogue partners undermines the forum's ability to address common challenges, as per Taipei Times.
Rejecting Beijing's claims over Taiwan, Lin underlined that the People's Republic of China 'has never ruled Taiwan for even a single day,' and noted that UN Resolution 2758 makes no reference to Taiwan, according to Taipei Times.
Calling China's narrative 'the emperor's new clothes,' he said, 'Telling a lie 100 times does not make it true.'
Lin added that Taiwan is pushing back against Beijing's suppression through deeper international cooperation, practical contributions, and sustained diplomatic outreach. (ANI)
