Foreign Minister Arrives in Guatemala on Five Allies Trip

Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung is now in Guatemala on the leg of his 11-day

trip to five of Taiwan's diplomatic allies in Latin America and the

Caribbean.



It is Lin's first overseas trip since he took office in May.



Taking to Facebook, Lin said he and his wife, together with a governmental

delegation, were welcomed by Guatemala's vice foreign minister on their

arrival at Guatemala City's La Aurora International Airport.



The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Lin will be meeting with President

Bernardo Arevalo and Foreign Minister Carlos Ramiro Martinez during his stay

in Guatemala.



According to the foreign ministry, President Lai Ching-te has appointed Lin

as a special envoy (使者) to represent his government at celebrations to mark

the 45th Independence Day of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.



Lin is also scheduled to visit Saint Lucia, Belize, and Saint Kitts and

Nevis.



He is scheduled to return to Taiwan on November 2.









ICC Reports Mongolia for Failure to Arrest Putin

A panel of judges at the International Criminal Court has reported Mongolia

to the court’s oversight organization for failing to arrest Russian

President Vladimir Putin when he visited the Asian nation last month.



Putin’s visit was his first to a member state of the court since it issued

an arrest warrant for him last year on war crimes charges, accusing him of

personal responsibility for the abductions (綁架) of children from Ukraine.



Russia is not a member of the court and the Kremlin has rejected the charges.



The court said in a statement that its member states are "duty-bound to

arrest and surrender individuals subject to ICC warrants, regardless of

official position or nationality.”



What the assembly will now do remains unclear.



While Putin was in Mongolia, a court said that the organization that is made

up of all 124 of the court's member states can “take any measure it deems

appropriate.”





UN: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Out of Control

A new United Nations report suggests that annual greenhouse gas emissions are

at an all-time high.



The UN Environment Programme says urgent action must be taken to prevent

catastrophic (災難性的) spikes in temperature and avoid the worst impact of

climate change.



Jody Jacobs has more from the United Nations in New York…





Canada to Cut New Immigrant Targets

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada will significantly reduce the

number of new immigrants in the country after acknowledging his government

failed to get the balance right coming out of the pandemic.



Trudeau’s Liberal government had targeted bringing in 500-thousand new

permanent residents in both 2025 and 2026.



Trudeau now says next year’s target will be 395-thousand new permanent

residents, which will continue to fall in 2026 and 2027.



Trudeau says immigration is essential for Canada’s future but it must be

controlled and it must be sustainable (可持續的).



The country's immigration minister says the lower immigration numbers will

help with the housing shortage in the country.



That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
