吳釗燮：感謝美國眾議院通過支持台灣成為國際刑警組織觀察員
民進黨秘書長吳釗燮於今（3）日表示，感謝美國眾議院無異議通過支持台灣成為國際刑警組織（INTERPOL）觀察員。吳秘書長同時也感謝美國眾議院外交委員會亞太事務小組主席、眾議員邵建隆（Matt Salmon，R-AZ）於今年四月提出決議案，取得跨黨派的支持於11月2日獲得順利通過。
吳秘書長特別引述邵建隆在四月所發表的聲明：「台灣擁有觀察員的身份將可以促進亞太地區的穩定與安全，並可透過國際刑警組織的全球警察溝通系統作為管道來打擊犯罪行為，保護台灣國民安全。」
吳秘書長表示，民進黨認為推動台灣加入國際刑警組織能貢獻並受益於該組織完整的資訊網絡，強化亞太區域共同打擊犯罪的努力。他說，民進黨期待未來在台灣朝野不分的支持下，與美國共同推動台灣儘速參與國際刑警組織，並深化台灣在國際社會的實質貢獻。
Democratic Progressive Party Secretary-General Joseph Wu today expressed his sincere appreciation to the U.S. House of Representatives for its unanimous support for Taiwan to be granted observer status in INTERPOL. In particular Secretary-General Wu expressed his thanks to Representative Matt Salmon (AZ-R) Chairman of the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific for introducing the bill and ensuring its bipartisan passage through the House on November 2.
He referred to Rep. Salmon’s remarks in April that: “Taiwan’s observer status would promote stability and security in the Asia Pacific region and assist Taiwan in protecting the safety of its citizens by combatting criminal activity through access to INTERPOL’s global police communications systems.
He added that the DPP believes that Taiwan’s participation in INTERPOL would strengthen regional crime-fighting efforts by allowing Taiwan to both contribute and benefit from INTERPOL’s comprehensive information networks. He said that the DPP looks forward to working with the U.S. to promote Taiwan’s meaningful participation on a bipartisan basis in Taiwan.
