Actually, the major countries of the world all support us in joining international economic and trade organizations--first, because Taiwan is an indispensable link in the world economy, and "another reason, frankly speaking, is they hope we'll pay back the international community by bearing duties and responsibilities commensurate with the rights we'll enjoy and our growth," says Yeh Wan-an, vice chairman of the Council for Economic Planning and Development.
事實上目前世界主要國家紛紛支持我們加入經貿性國際組織，一方面固然是因台灣為國際經貿社會中不可或缺的一環；「另一個原因，老實說，還是希望我們在享受權利、日漸茁壯後，能回饋國際社會，負擔相對義務」，經濟建設委員會副主任委員葉萬安說。
