國民黨關切印度疫情發展 呼籲提供緊急人道援助
針對近日印度新冠病毒疫情急遽惡化，部分醫療物資嚴重短缺，中國國民黨國際事務部呼籲政府主動對我國在印度僑民及派駐印度人員提供必要之協助，並立即透過外交管道協商，提供印度所需之緊急人道援助。
國民黨國際事務部表示，印度社會對我態度向來友好。印度政府日前便曾捐助衛福部發展中藥研究，也對台鐵太魯閣號事件表達慰問。印度新冠病毒疫情在近日不幸惡化，每日病例已超過三十萬人，許多國家都已經同意援助印度醫療氧氣罐等設施，唯獨未見我國政府有公開作為，反而把印度對太魯閣號事件的慰問當作內宣。國民黨國際事務部特針對此情勢發表三點聲明：
（1）國民黨長期以來與印度朝野保持友好互助的夥伴關係。江啟臣主席、馬英九前主席 、朱立倫前主席、吳敦義前主席等人均曾多次訪印，非常重視印度的發展。國際部從多方管道得知，許多國民黨友人不幸在此波疫情中感染，謹對此表達最誠摯的慰問及關切，期盼印度友人早日康復。
（2）我國在印度的僑民人數雖然不多，但其工作、生活顯然都已受到巨大影響，呼籲政府應改變被動受理的方式，而是主動關切僑民現況，並妥善協助應對此波疫情，不要讓僑民成為疫情下的海外孤兒。中國國民黨亦對當地第一線的政府駐外人員及其眷屬表達關心之意，希望一切平安。
（3）呼籲外交部及衛福部立即透過外交協商方式，在臺灣行有餘力的前提下，整合民間資源，緊急提供印度當前所需醫療物資，落實「人飢己飢」的人道精神。
KMT expresses concerns about deteriorating Covid-19 situation in India and calls for emergency humanitarian assistance
Recently, the COVID-19 situation in India has deteriorated, and the country is facing a severe shortage of medical supplies. The Department of International Affairs of the Kuomintang (KMT) has urged the DPP government to provide necessary assistance to expatriates and our diplomatic personnel in India, saying that the government should immediately negotiate with India through diplomatic channels so that the ROC can provide emergency humanitarian aid when necessary
The KMT Department of International Affairs indicates that Indian society has always been friendly to us. The Indian government recently donated funds to the Ministry of Health and Welfare to support research on Chinese medicine and expressed sympathy for victims of tragic Hualien train derailment that killed 49 on April.. Unfortunately, the pandemic has deteriorated in India, which saw a record one-day jump with more than 300,000 new Covid-19 cases. . Many countries have agreed to provide medical equipment such as oxygen tanks. However, we haven’t yet seen the DPP government taking actions in response. The Department of International Affair of the KMT stresses three points regarding the situation:
（1）The Kuomintang has long maintained a close and mutually helpful partnership with the Indian government and the public. KMT Chairman Johnny Chiang (江啟臣), former Chairmen Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九), Chu Lil-luan (朱立倫), and Wu Denyih (吳敦義) have visited India several times and have paid great attention to the situation in India. The Department of International Affairs of the KMT learned from various sources that many of KMT’s friends were unfortunately infected during the pandemic. We want to express our sincerest concerns about this and look forward to the recovery of our Indian friends.
（2） Although the number of Taiwanese expatriates in India is relatively small, their work and life have obviously been greatly affected. We believe that the DPP government should be more active in extending our hands to Taiwanese expatriates in India and properly assist them in responding to the pandemic. The last thing we want to see is Taiwanese expatriates becoming overseas orphans due to the pandemic. The KMT expresses concerns for the government personnel stationed on the front line abroad as well as their relatives, hoping that everything goes well with them.
（3）Based on the spirit of humanity, the KMT urges the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Health and Welfare to immediately conduct diplomatic consultations so that they can integrate resources in the private sectors and provide necessary medical supplies for India as quickly as possible.
