Following the third Australia-New Zealand Foreign and Defence Ministerial Consultations (ANZMIN 2+2) on March 17, the two countries issued a joint statement reaffirming the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, opposing any unilateral action to change the status quo, and encouraging all parties to engage in dialogue rather than resorting to coercion or force. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes and affirms this statement.
Australia and New Zealand are both like-minded partners of Taiwan, sharing such common values as democracy, freedom, and the rule of law. Maintaining peace across the Taiwan Strait and stability in the Indo-Pacific has become an international consensus. Taiwan will continue to work hand in hand with like-minded countries to jointly safeguard the rules-based international order and promote democracy, peace, and prosperity in the region. (E)
