US calls on WHO to Invite Taiwan to Attend the World Health Assembly
Unites States Mission in Geneva urged Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the General Director of WHO, to invite Taiwan to attend the World Health Assembly next Monday.
The delegation issued a statement saying that they encouraged WHO to work harder to provide Taiwan with more meaningful cooperation opportunities.
The World Health Assembly next Monday will discuss the global COVID-19 epidemic situations. The delegation thinks that inviting Taiwan to participate is necessary as Taiwan has not recorded a confirmed case of COVID-19 for more than 200 consecutive days, and many countries praised its anti-epidemic performance.
Hundreds of parliamentarians from Europe and Latin America have recently submitted joint signatures to the WHO, requesting Taiwan to attend the World Health Assembly and even join the WHO.
