Taiwan and WHO Copenhagen: The Denmark parliament is considering a resolution to support Taiwan's bid to return to the World Health Organization, a step that might annoy China.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, Taiwan’s representative office in Denmark said that six of the 10 political parties represented in the Danish parliament are supporting a resolution to ask the WHO to invite Taiwan to the World Health Assembly (WHA), the WHO’s decision making body, as an observer, Taipei Times reported.
The resolution, jointly initiated by the Danish blue-bloc coalition and the Danish Social Liberal Party, has passed a first reading and is being reviewed by the parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Michael Aastrup Jensen, the Danish Social Liberal Party’s foreign affairs spokesman, told the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten that Taiwan had attained success in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, and he does not see any reason why it should not participate in the WHO, as it has in the past.
