GENEVA, May 24 (Xinhua) The World Health Assembly (WHA), the highest decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), on Monday refused to include a proposal on Taiwan s participation in its agenda.
Chen Xu, China s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office at Geneva, said in a statement at the meeting that the Chinese delegation firmly supported the recommendation by the General Committee of the 74th WHA to not include the Taiwan-related proposal in the agenda.
Once again, in a bid to legitimize its position that Taiwan be viewed as being de facto independent, and thereby forego the need to calamitously declare independence, the secessionist-minded administration on the island has tried to politicize what it decries as its exclusion from global bodies.

Noting that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, Chen said: The UNGA Resolution 2758 and WHA Resolution 25.1 provided the legal basis for WHO to abide by the one-China principle, and recognized Taiwan as part of China. The Taiwan-related proposal is in violation of the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, runs against the WHO s Constitution and the WHA s Rules of Procedure, and is illegal and invalid.
