An international group of parliamentarians on Tuesday launched a global campaign urging the World Health Organization (WHO) to invite Taiwan to participate in the upcoming World Health Assembly (WHA), warning that it is allowing a “dangerous gap in the global network.”

The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) released a video statement featuring 15 legislators from 12 legislatures across Europe, North America, and Australia, all of whom urged the UN agency to allow Taiwan to participate in the 74th WHA in Geneva, Switzerland, scheduled to take place from May 24 to June 1.
