一則台灣駐德代表處Taiwan in Deutschland的小故事。
2018年6月,我前往德國柏林出席「國際自由聯盟」(Liberal International)的會議,利用空檔專程到代表處拜會謝志偉粉絲頁大使,同時也以外交委員會委員的身分跟駐處同仁座談。
由於跟謝大使是東吳大學的老同事,也是多年的好朋友,他特別請我中午到代表處附近的餐廳用個便餐!
一進餐廳,服務生用德文問訂位大名,只見謝大使稍微拉高了音量用英文說:Taiwan embassy (台灣大使舘)。只見服務生親切的稱呼:Yes, Mr. ambassador!
坐定後,我好奇的問他剛才的對話情況。大使微笑地向我說明:
他說,由於在德國尤其柏林,中國對台灣的打壓無所不用其極,在很多正式或公開的場合,我們不能用Taiwan更無法稱embassy,因此他要求代表處同仁,只要有機會就要突顯台灣、突顯大使舘的地位。
所以,在外面餐廳訂位的時候,一定是用Taiwan embassy的名義,這樣中共總沒法打壓了吧!
我又好奇追問,做為德文系教授、外語學院院長,明明可以德文對答如流,為什麼要用英文回答Taiwan embassy?
他得意的說,柏林是國際都市,很多國際觀光客未必懂德文,所以他用英文回答,不只是要講給服務生聽,更要把握機會讓更多人聽到Taiwan!
頓時間,我了解到為什麼理應輕聲細語的外交官,要拉高音量說出Taiwan embassy了!
外交經常就是在這種細膩操作下的點點滴滴累積,這恐怕是某些人永遠無法理解的工作內容。而對外交人員潑冷水甚至潑髒水,只會更凸顯自己的無知!
感謝第一線外交人員的勞心勞力,讓台灣在世界被聽到、被看到!謝大使加油!駐處同仁加油!

歐洲議會高票通過友台報告書「台歐盟政治關係暨合作」,台灣與歐盟友好關係持續深化。
#台海局勢
歐洲議會不僅關切中國軍事對台灣的威脅、敦促中國停止任何破壞台海和平的行為,也呼籲歐盟積極主動與國際社會合作,維護台海和平及鞏固台灣民主,並將台灣納入歐盟「印太合作戰略」作為重要夥伴。
#強化台歐雙邊交流
歐洲議會鼓勵歐盟 #強化與台灣最高層級等官方交流,也呼籲歐盟執委會於今年年底前準備好與台灣「雙邊投資協定」的前置作業,以準備與台灣展開談判。
#支持台灣在立陶宛設處
先前中國以經貿及外交等手段制裁立陶宛,這次歐洲議會臨時新增並通過修正案,強調歐洲議會支持也歡迎台灣在立陶宛設立代表處,同時譴責中國對立陶宛的經濟制裁,也呼籲歐盟採取適當行動力挺立陶宛。另一修正案則建議將「歐洲經貿辦事處」更名為「歐盟駐台辦事處」(EU Office in Taiwan)。
「台歐盟政治關係暨合作」報告 #是歐洲議會首度針對台歐盟政治關係起草的正式文件,外交部誠摯感謝歐洲議會首次主動針對台歐關係提出全面積極的建議,未來將持續關注後續報告案投票結果。
MOFA would like to thank the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs for adopting a report on #EU-#Taiwan Political Relations and Cooperation, marking a new milestone in ties!
We welcome the report, which calls for the elevating of political relations with Taiwan to a comprehensive and enhanced partnership, the completion of an impact assessment which could pave the way for negotiations of a bilateral investment agreement (#BIA) with Taiwan, Taiwan’s inclusion in the EU Indo-Pacific Strategy and advocacy for Taiwan’s inclusion in international organizations as an observer, among other things.
The report also expresses the European Parliament’s support for Taiwan’s establishment of a representative office in #Lithuania and suggests the changing of the name of the European Economic and Trade Office in Taipei to the “EU Office in Taiwan.”
Taiwan and the EU share the values of #democracy, #freedom and respect for #HumanRights and #RuleOfLaw. Taiwan will not be cowed by authoritarian regimes into abandoning these principles and will continue to work with the EU and other partners to uphold the liberal democratic order.

💕「愛台灣,我的選擇」系列第14發:環境科學家馬耐德發現台灣的生物多樣性與供應鏈的關鍵角色
「我來自美國加州聖地亞哥,畢業於美國創價大學,主修環境科學,當時主要從事淡水魚和基礎漁業的研究。隨後我到加州蒙特瑞國際研究學院攻讀碩士,研究海洋及沿海資源管理。當時其中一位教授就是來自台灣,她告訴我:『你應該去台灣看一看。』很多旅居海外的台灣人都會這樣鼓勵外國人拜訪台灣。
而我後來也的確到台灣進行了一個海峽兩岸的研究,作為唯一一位環境科學學人,我必須要想一個能在台北和上海演講的主題,垃圾就是一個最明顯的題材。因為當你來到台灣,你會發現台灣街道上都沒有垃圾,這點讓我感到非常新奇,為什麼會沒有垃圾呢?當時我也發現並沒有什麼關於台灣廢棄物管理轉型的英文資訊,所以我就決定住在台灣,研究這個讓我很著迷的題目。那是2013年的事,後來我獲得傅爾布萊特獎助金在墾丁海生館擔任訪問學者一年,至此之後我就待了下來。大約六個月前,我開始在銳思碳管理顧問公司上班,我們負責協助大型品牌和他們的供應鏈設定並達成碳供應鏈目標。這是我們剛在台灣成立的新辦公室,公司的總部在香港,但我們想要把重心移到台灣,因為台灣是關鍵的供應鏈環節。我們認為台灣將在永續報告和減碳目標上持續成長,而且台灣真的是個好地方。
台灣有很多我很喜歡的優點,我覺得最棒但很少被注意到的一點是台灣的生物多樣性。台灣是亞熱帶島嶼,擁有非常豐富多樣的原生種和特有種,美麗的蝴蝶、螢火蟲、珊瑚、鯨鯊、鮪魚、熊……物種多到我三天三夜都講不完。而且就算不開車,也很容易親近大自然。我也喜歡騎單車,台灣的單車道做的非常好,還有優質的單車品牌和產品。我在台灣大多時候過的很不錯,沒什麼好抱怨的,食物也好吃。而且台灣人基本上對科學有充分的信任和熱忱,許多民選官員都曾經是醫生、科學家、工程師等等,連總統都曾發表過博士論文。台灣的前副總統大概是地球上最有資格帶領對抗新冠疫情的領袖。感覺上,台灣有很多科學家,當個理工宅男好像也很OK。」
✨馬耐德(Nate Maynard)連續兩年(2014及2015 年)榮獲美國傅爾布萊特獎助學金,現為「鬼島之音Waste Not Why Not」節目製作及主持人,及銳思碳管理顧問股份有限公司高級顧問。
💕Why I chose Taiwan #14 – Environmental sciences scholar Nate Maynard discover Taiwan’s and its key role in supply chains
"I’m from San Diego California originally. My undergrad was from Soka University of America; liberal arts with a concentration in environmental studies, and I work on fresh-water fishes mostly and basic fisheries. And then my Master’s program was at the Monterey Institute of International Studies with a concentration in ocean and coastal resource management. One of my professors was Taiwanese, and she said: ‘you gotta go to Taiwan,’ as most Taiwanese people living abroad will tell foreigners.
And I did go visit Taiwan for a cross-Strait research trip, and as the only environment person, I had to come up with something I could talk about in Taipei and Shanghai, and garbage was the most obvious thing. Because when you come to Taiwan, there’s no garbage, and I became fascinated: Why is there no garbage? I realized there really wasn’t much information in English about Taiwan’s waste management transformation, and that’s sort of how I got hooked and decided I wanted to live in Taiwan. That was 2013. And then I got the Fulbright Fellowship and spent a year at the National Aquarium in Kenting....and they haven’t been able to get me to leave. About six months ago, I started working for a private consulting firm called Reset Carbon. We help major brands and their supply chains set and achieve carbon supply chain targets. This is a new office that we just set up in Taiwan. The company’s headquarter is in Hong Kong, but we wanted to pivot to Taiwan because Taiwan’s the key supply chain link. We expect to see Taiwan growing in terms of sustainability reporting, carbon reduction goals, and Taiwan’s just a nice place.
There’s a couple things that I really enjoy about Taiwan. I think the best thing that doesn’t get enough coverage is biodiversity. Taiwan is a sub-tropical island. It’s full of native and endemic species, beautiful butterflies, fireflies, coral, whale sharks, tuna, bears...I can list the animals for hours. It’s easy for me to go and get access to nature, even without a car. I also enjoy biking and Taiwan has excellent biking infrastructure, and great bike companies that make fine products. Most aspects of my life in Taiwan are pretty good. I can’t complain. Food is great too. I think there’s also a general trust and enthusiasm for science in Taiwan. I mean there’s a lot of elected officials that are doctors, scientists, engineers, and the president has published papers as a PhD. And you know, the vice president was probably the most qualified person on Earth to lead the COVID response. In Taiwan, it feels like the scientists are pretty well-represented, and like being a nerd is kinda okay." -- Nate Maynard
✨Nate Maynard won Fulbright Fellowship two times in a row (2014-15, 2015-16), now serving as a program host and producer of “Waste Not Why Not” with Ghost Island Media and a senior consultant at Reset Carbon.
