Believe Quote by Linda Thomas-Greenfield
“We believe that Taiwan should be given the abilities to do whatever other nonstate entities can do in the United Nations. And one of those is to be able to come into the U.N. to visit the building, to participate in the activities that do not require them to be a nation-state.”
