The EVA Air Brisbane Marathon 2026, proudly title-sponsored by EVA Air for the third consecutive year, was successfully held on 7 June, attracting a record-breaking 16,000 participants and demonstrating the growing popularity of one of Queensland’s premier sporting events.

Director-General William Fan attended the opening ceremony along with Lord Mayor's representative, Cr Steven Toomey and Rio Tinto Representative, Eva Air Representative, Mr Jeff Kuo. Director General Fan had the honour of firing the starting gun for the full marathon, wishing all runners a successful race and showing support on behalf of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Brisbane.

｜台灣以創意結合科技與醫療經驗，讓世界看見 🫶

今年第79屆「世界衛生大會」日前閉幕，我們的友邦與理念相近國家透過執言、提案、聯合聲明、致函與通過友台決議等方式，肯定台灣的醫療經驗能造福全球，也堅定支持台灣參與世界衛生大會與世界衛生組織，呼籲全球公衛體系納入台灣，實踐「不遺漏任何人」（leaving no one behind）。

同時，對於中國及部分國家在大會期間再次扭曲 #聯大第2758號決議 及WHA第25.1號決議，海地🇭🇹、帛琉🇵🇼、聖克里斯多福及尼維斯🇰🇳、聖露西亞🇱🇨、貝里斯🇧🇿 與日本🇯🇵 也公開嚴正駁斥，強調這兩項決議與台灣無關。

我們誠摯感謝每一位好朋友的力挺，台灣不僅具備科技實力與醫療經驗，今年WHA大會我們透過創意與跨部會合作在日內瓦當地傳達台灣的訴求，佳龍部長率領 #醫療公衛台灣隊 舉辦「台灣智慧醫療與健康產業展」，向各國代表團展示台灣醫療的創新、智慧與韌性實力，也實踐價值外交、同盟外交及經濟外交三層面的「總合外交」戰略。

外交部會繼續透過公私協力，讓台灣的醫療經驗點亮世界，一起跟全球夥伴努力讓人人享有健康 🤝

｜Taiwan's innovation, tech & healthcare expertise on show to the world 🫶

Many of our allies and like-minded partners spoke up for Taiwan, delivering speeches, proposing agenda items, issuing joint statements, and writing open letters, during the 79th World Health Assembly, which concluded last month. They recognized how Taiwan's healthcare experience has helped to enrich the international community, and backed Taiwan's participation in the World Health Organization and WHA, in keeping with the spirit of "leaving no one behind."

Haiti🇭🇹, Palau🇵🇼, Saint Kitts and Nevis🇰🇳, Saint Lucia🇱🇨, Belize🇧🇿, and Japan🇯🇵also condemned the distortion of UNGA Resolution 2758 and WHA Resolution 25.1 by the PRC and other countries, stressing that the resolutions do not mention Taiwan. We sincerely thank our friends for their strong support.

Taiwan's tech strengths and healthcare expertise were on full display in Geneva during the WHA, thanks to our innovative approach and cross-ministry cooperation, ensuring that our request to participate was heard by the world. MOFA Minister Lin Chia-lung also led a delegation of industry representatives to take part in the Taiwan Smart Medical & HealthTech Expo, demonstrating medical innovation, smart tech, and resilience, in a testament to the values-based, alliance-based, and economic diplomacy that makes up the integrated diplomatic approach.

MOFA will continue to harness public-private cooperation to ensure Taiwan's healthcare expertise is center stage and that we can help realize the goal of health for all 🤝

針對日本與菲律賓日前啟動劃分兩國專屬經濟海域及大陸礁層談判，外交部在第一時間掌握情勢，並再次向日、菲兩國政府明確重申立場，向國人說明如下：

🔹 日菲談判不影響我國權益
日、菲兩國未來相關談判的過程及結果，都不會影響我國依國際法及海洋法所享有的主權權利；也不影響我國與日本簽署的「台日漁業協議」及與菲律賓簽署的「台菲漁業執法合作協定」等既有合作機制的執行。

日本內閣官房長官木原稔亦已明確表示，日菲協議對第三國沒有拘束力。

🔹 堅定維護我國領土主權及海洋權益
我方再次向日本及菲律賓政府明確重申，中華民國台灣對領土及相關海域主權，以及依國際法與海洋法享有的主權權利不容質疑。

🔹 駁斥中國錯誤主張
外交部嚴正駁斥中國就此議題發表涉及我國主權的不實言論，中華民國台灣與中華人民共和國互不隸屬，我方對日菲專屬經濟海域劃界談判之政策與立場，中國無權置喙，更無權代替台灣發言。
外交部將持續與日本及菲律賓保持溝通，堅定維護我國主權、確保我國海洋權益及漁民作業權益獲得充分保障。

With regard to the recent negotiations between Japan and the Philippines on maritime boundaries between the two countries, MOFA would like to clarify the following:

🔹Any subsequent negotiations or actions taken by Japan and the Philippines will not impact Taiwan's sovereignty in terms of international law or maritime law; Nor will these affect fisheries agreements signed with either country.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara Minoru has also recently made clear that negotiations between Japan and the Philippines would not be legally binding on third parties.

🔹The ROC (Taiwan) has clearly reasserted sovereignty over its territorial sea, EEZ and continental shelf in communications with Japan and the Philippines, sovereignty which is indisputable and in accordance with international law and the maritime law.

🔹MOFA again strongly refutes fallacious assertions made by the PRC concerning Taiwan's sovereignty, and reasserts that neither the ROC (Taiwan) nor the PRC is subordinate to the other. The PRC cannot therefore speak for Taiwan in terms of expressing a response or policy position on the negotiations between Japan and the Philippines concerning Exclusive Economic Zones.

MOFA will continue to monitor developments and maintain channels of communication with Japan and the Philippines to ensure our maritime and fishing rights are fully protected.

外交足跡跨越6大洲、24國，我們以實際行動展現台灣連結世界的堅定決心！

回顧520二周年這段歷程，外交部採取「制度創新」與「跨域合作」新做法，不僅在元首外交互訪、鞏固國家主權，以及強化防衛韌性上取得全方位新突破，更深化與友邦及友盟國家情誼。

我國產業實力引領台灣走向世界，未來也將持續為全球繁榮做出貢獻，並與夥伴攜手，共築安全、可信賴的民主供應鏈。

外交部將致力達成賴總統所期許「守護民主、追求和平、創造繁榮」的國政願景，與好朋友並肩堅守民主自由，因為台灣，世界將變得更美好💪

#總合外交台灣前行

MOFA works across 24 countries on six continents, taking concrete steps to demonstrate Taiwan's determination to engage with the world!

To mark the second anniversary of the current administration taking office, we're looking back at how MOFA has employed new methods, such as institutional innovation and cross-sectoral cooperation, to facilitate visits by heads of state, to reinforce national sovereignty, and boost our defensive resilience, while strengthening ties with allies and like-minded countries.

Taiwan's industrial strengths have brought us closer to the world, and we'll continue to make global contributions and forge secure, reliable democratic supply chains alongside our partners.

MOFA will continue to work hard to realize President Lai Ching-te's vision of reform, defending democracy, pursuing peace, and creating greater prosperity, making the world better for having Taiwan in it💪
