Taiwan's Director of Foreign Affairs, Wu, responded to NHK's independent interview on the 15th in Taipei ahead of WHO's annual general meeting starting on the 18th next week.

In this, Mr. Kure said, “I hope to be an observer at the invitation of the Secretary-General of this year's WHO General Assembly,” and he is motivated to participate in the General Assembly with his qualification as an observer. Then, I made it clear that the invitation has not arrived.

Mr. Wu said, "As we move toward participation, we are being restrained by a powerful force. The powerful force is China."

In addition, Wu said, “If Taiwan is excluded from WHO, information is not shared promptly, and cooperation cannot be obtained, Taiwan will become a geographical void. This is only unfair to Taiwan. Not only that, it could put the world in a region where infectious disease prevention is out of reach. We don't want that. "

He added, "Taiwan's experience with new anti-coronaviruses has been quite successful. If Taiwan could join such an important international organization, it would share our experience with other countries. By participating in the WHO General Assembly, we can share our experience of successful suppression and contribute to the international community where antivirus measures are an urgent task.

"We believe that if more countries can continue to support Taiwan, it will be a great help for Taiwan's participation," said Mr. Wu. I emphasized the idea to achieve it.
