GENEVA (Reuters) – Member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) on Monday decided not to invite Taiwan to the organization’s annual assembly in Geneva after China appealed for it to remain sidelined.
Taiwan is excluded from most international organisations because of objections by China, which considers the democratically governed island its own territory.
Taiwan attended the World Health Assembly (WHA) as an observer from 2009 to 2016.
