Regarding to the enactment of the new constitution, he said, "Taiwan needs a new constitution that is timely, relevant and viable.
"When we think about our national dignity and status in the global affairs, as many people are saying, we need new thought and means, namely, we should seriously consider to join the United Nations with the name of Taiwan." President Chen also mentioned that he instructed the Presidential Office Secretary-General Mark Chen (陳唐山 Chen Tang-shan) - who has served as a top diplomat for long time and is familiar with international affairs - to carefully discuss about the necessity to join the United Nations with the name of "Taiwan." I think now is an appropriate time, we should seriously consider and properly handle the matter, and examine it closely," Chen emphasized his opinion regarding to the guidelines. This kind of council and its representatives seek a unified China, and the guidelines even accept the 'one China' principle. As everybody knows, all that's left of the council is its name like a store whose sign has disappeared and stocks gone. "What Chinese unification are we after? This is an extremely serious topic.
He also mentioned that there have been discussions on abolishing the National Unification Guidelines and participating in the United Nations again with the name of "Taiwan" as subjects to be seriously considered. He presented three policies to be firmly maintained in the future: the ideal process of democratic reformation, further strengthening the Taiwan consciousness, and establishing a normal, complete, advanced, beautiful and great country. We will have a better year by reflecting and reviewing what we have done," he expressed his expectations. "Not only a reformation of the personnel system of the Minchin-tang (民主進歩黨) with an inauguration of the new Cabinet but also every coming step is important. "We have already recovered from the failure in the last election and are just taking a new step forward," he mentioned the "Three-in-One Election" (三合一選擧) in last December. In the opening speech, he outlined three tasks for the new year - abolishing the Guidelines for National Unification, drafting a new constitution by the end of the year, and entering the United Nation with the name of Taiwan - at a lunch banquet held by hundreds of his supporters at his alma mater of the Matou Junior High School in Matou Township (麻豆), Tainan County. President Chen Shui-bian returned to his hometown Tainan (台南) to attend the Lunar New Year party on Januwith local supporters. Office of the President, Republic of China (Taiwan)
