洛杉矶近50位台湾侨领发表联合声明：吁国际支持台湾参与联合国
据ICRT 10月23日报道，洛杉矶近50位台湾社区领袖发表联合声明，呼吁国际社会给予台湾参与联合国更多支持。
声明发表之际，正值第81届联合国大会在纽约开议。声明指出，1971年将中国在联合国的席位移交给北京的第2758号决议，并未决定台湾的代表权与主权归属，台湾2300万人的国际参与不应被该决议框限。
总统府国策顾问 Lin Jung-sung 亦公开呼吁，台湾各政党应就参与联合国议题建立跨党派一致立场，共同向国际发声。据悉，台湾外交部也同步启动年度联大推案，一个由台湾朝野三党立委组成的代表团本周也前往纽约，推动台湾的国际参与。
侨领们表示，台湾在公共卫生、科技、经贸等领域的贡献有目共睹，将台湾排除在联合国体系之外，既不公平也不符合国际社会的整体利益。洛杉矶是美国台湾侨民最集中的城市之一，侨界长期关注台湾国际空间议题，此次近50位侨领联署，是近年南加州台湾社团就联合国参与议题规模较大的一次集体发声。

Nearly 50 Taiwanese Community Leaders in Los Angeles Issue Joint Statement Backing Taiwan's U.N. Participation
Nearly 50 Taiwanese community leaders in Los Angeles have issued a joint statement calling on the international community to give greater support to Taiwan's participation in the United Nations, ICRT reported on October 23.
The statement came as the 81st session of the U.N. General Assembly opened in New York. It argues that Resolution 2758 — which in 1971 transferred China's U.N. seat to Beijing — did not determine Taiwan's representation or sovereignty, and that the international participation of Taiwan's 23 million people should not be constrained by that resolution.
Presidential Office national policy adviser Lin Jung-sung also publicly called on Taiwan's political parties to build a cross-party consensus on U.N. participation and speak with one voice internationally. Meanwhile, Taiwan's Foreign Ministry has launched its annual U.N. campaign, and a delegation of legislators from Taiwan's three major parties traveled to New York this week to promote Taiwan's international participation.
The community leaders said Taiwan's contributions in public health, technology and trade are evident to all, and that excluding Taiwan from the U.N. system is neither fair nor in the interest of the international community. Los Angeles is home to one of the largest Taiwanese communities in the United States, whose members have long followed the issue of Taiwan's international space; the joint statement, signed by nearly 50 leaders, is one of the larger collective actions by Southern California's Taiwanese community on U.N. participation in recent years.
