Q: How will you keep promoting the idea of "World Citizenship" in Taiwan?

A: "World Citizenship" is global. We can let all world citizens have a chance to express their opinions and communicate with one another through NGO and cultural exchange activities. In 2001, the World Citizens Assembly (WCA) is to be held in Taiwan. I hope that all people who have the same idea can join us, and together, through real action, we can strive for the idea of world citizenship.
