Taiwan recently won international praise for donating medical supplies to other countries. The move caught the attention of the world, and people are realizing just how much of a difference the small island country can make.
With many countries struggling to find enough medical supplies to take care of COVID-19 patients, Taiwan has lent a helping hand. People like Swedish Parliamentarian Margareta Cederfelt are taking notice and speaking on Taiwan’s behalf.
“A country with 23 million people has successfully staved off the epidemic. That country is Taiwan. Mr. Prime Minister, are you willing to help Taiwan join the WHO?” Cederfelt asked the Swedish prime minister.
The Swedish prime minister says that he cannot give a concrete answer, but he does agree with Cederfelt that international cooperation is very important.
Taiwan’s representative office in Sweden thanked Cederfelt for her concern, but these days, Taiwan is getting more thanks than it’s giving.
(Dear people of Taiwan... )
The Mayor of Prague recently released a video thanking Taiwan for a donation of medical equipment.
