Taiwan
International Organisations

After the World Health Assembly rejected a proposal to admit Taiwan to the WHO as a full member, the Chinese Health Minister said that the Chinese government has always attached great importance to the health of Taiwan compatriots and has always supported the participation of Taiwan medical and public health experts in the technical exchanges of the WHO under the principle of the one-China policy. He also said the Chinese government has consulted with the WHO on applying the International Health Regulations to Taiwan under the principle of the one-China policy. Taiwan applied for full membership of WHO this year because it was concerned that an MOU between the WHO and China set forth procedures and conditions for Taiwan's participation in the WHO activities and may become a paradigm for Taiwan to participate in other international organisations.
