The United States is urging the World Health Organization (WHO) to invite Taiwan to participate as an observer at its annual meeting in Geneva, stressing its importance to “the WHO’s commitment to an inclusive, ‘health for all’ approach to international health cooperation.”
“Taiwan’s distinct capabilities and approaches—including its significant public health expertise, democratic governance, and advanced technology—bring considerable value that would inform the WHA’s deliberations,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement on May 9.
