此為中華民國駐世界貿易組織常任代表團於10月7日協同我國駐日內瓦辦事處舉辦中華民國105年國慶酒會。當晚主人駐日內瓦辦事處易志成大使致詞時對台灣過去諸多成就做了精彩詳細的介紹，本團新到任大使朱敬一身為協辦共同主人，亦應邀做簡短致詞。除了開頭、結尾的禮貌性致意，朱大使英文演說內容有多位僑胞表示深有同感，茲節略如下：
Our host Ambassador Yi just mentioned many successful and good features of Taiwan. I understand that you are here not to hear a long speech from me, so I am going to make my statement short. If I may I would like to summarize all the features Ambassador Yi mentioned using one word: freedom. Among all Chinese societies in the world, I would say that Taiwan is the only one that has a comprehensive spectrum of long-developed freedom. We have the freedom of speech, freedom of contract, freedom of research, freedom of press, freedom of Internet, freedom of exercising trade, and most of all, the freedom and democracy of electing our own President, Congressmen, county Mayors and so on. Such freedom and respect of human dignity in my opinion are the key values that are behind all the great achievements of Taiwan which Ambassador Yi referred to. So toward the end of his address when Ambassador Yi asked you to support Taiwan, he actually was asking you to support the freedom and human dignity behind as a value to our society. As I said, this is a value you cannot ever find in any other Chinese societies around the world. This is why we cherish it, this is why we should support it, and this is the fundamental faith we hold as we celebrate our National day here.
