Celebrating Taiwanese Democracy
The motion
That the Parliament notes the result of the presidential and legislative elections in Taiwan on 11 January 2020, which it believes, once again, demonstrated the strength of that country's robust and vibrant democratic system; considers that both Taiwan and Scotland to be open and free societies and members of the community of democracies; believes that they uphold universal values, such as freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, and have a shared interest in having bilateral cooperation in economic, technological, cultural and energy-related affairs, and hopes that both sides of the Taiwan Strait will renew dialogue to resolve differences and build constructive relations.
