Legislator Li Hsien-jen notes that all parties in the Legislative Yuan are aware of the difficult straits that the nation finds itself in diplomatically, and that a consensus has emerged not to cut foreign affairs expenditure. In fact, with the support of all the parties, the foreign affairs budget has been rising year after year.
立法委員李先仁就表示，對於外交處境的艱困，立法院各黨派都十分瞭解，且有不刪外交預算的共識，對於援外的金額也都採支持的立場，甚至外交預算逐年都在增加中。
