Taiwan criticizes WHO 'indifference' after failing to gain access to annual meeting
CNN
Taiwan has criticized what it called World Health Organization (WHO) "indifference" to the health rights of Taiwan people and for capitulating to China after the island failed to get invited to a meeting of the WHO decision-making body.
Taiwan is excluded from most global organizations such as the WHO, the UN's health agency, because of the objections of China, which considers the island one of its provinces. Taiwan, with the strong backing of major Western powers, had been lobbying for access to the forum, which opened on Monday, as an observer. But no invitation came, the government said.More Related News
