We must take proactive steps to promote democracy and human rights abroad.

encouraged and pleased to see that the countries of Latin America stood up for human rights and democracy in their own region, especially with regard to Cuba.

We discuss issues very frankly between us, whether it is to do with human rights or democracy. For example, we discussed the issue of Chechnya. However, the relationship between us is important in terms of our common interest,

I believe no one is willing to give up taking the road of freedom, democracy, and human rights. The 23 million Taiwan people should continue to insist on walking their own path.
