World Health Assembly rejects Taiwan-related proposal again

Geneva, May 19 (UNI) The World Health Assembly (WHA), the highest decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), on Monday decided not to include in its agenda a so-called proposal on Taiwan's participation in the annual assembly as an observer.
In response to the 78th WHA's decision on certain countries' so-called proposal of "inviting Taiwan to participate in the WHA as an observer," Chen Xu, permanent representative of China to the United Nations (UN) Office at Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, stated in his speech at the assembly that the UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 and the World Health Assembly Resolution 25.1 have long since resolved the issue of China's representation, including Taiwan, in a comprehensive and conclusive manner.
He said that the WHA has, for consecutive years, rejected so-called Taiwan-related proposals, thereby upholding the authority of the UN and the post-war international order.
