GENEVA, May 19 (Xinhua) — The World Health Assembly (WHA), the highest decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), on Monday decided to reject a proposal by some countries to include in the assembly’s agenda the issue of “inviting Taiwan to participate in the WHA as an observer.”
Commenting on the decision of the 78th session of the WHA on the so-called proposal of some countries to “invite Taiwan to participate in the work of the WHA as an observer,” Chen Xu, Permanent Representative of the PRC to the UN Office at Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, stated in his speech at the assembly that the issue of representation of all of China, including Taiwan, had long been exhaustively and finally resolved by UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 and WHA Resolution 25.1.
He also noted that for many years the WHA has rejected similar proposals related to Taiwan, thereby protecting the authority of the UN and the international order that emerged after the end of World War II.
Facts prove that the vicious path of “Taiwan independence” leads to a dead end, the Chinese diplomat stressed. –0–
