Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS LILONGWE 001005 SIPDIS SENSITIVE SIPDIS FOR AF/S E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PGOV, PREL, MI, TW SUBJECT: MUTHARIKA-BUSH LETTER ON TAIWAN REF: A) LILONGWE 829 B) LILONGWE 863 1. Post is pouching to Department a letter from President Mutharika to President Bush, requesting U.S. consideration of UN membership for Taiwan. In the letter, Mutharika cites the examples of the former Soviet republics, states of the former Yugoslavia, and Singapore as nations that were all admitted to the UN following historic changes in circumstance. He argues that Taiwan qualifies as a nation state, and asks that the U.S review UNSC resolution 2758. 2. Comment: This letter is further evidence of the close ties between the Mutharika government and Taiwan (reftels). Mutharika devoted a large portion of his speech at UNGA to pressing for UN recognition of Taiwan, and Malawi has made representations in Taiwan's favor in other international fora such as the WHO.
