A combination photograph shows letters on the WHO’s Web site from some of Taiwan’s diplomatic allies requesting that the WHO consider inviting Taiwan to participate in the World Health Assembly on Monday next week. Japan would do its utmost to back Taiwan’s bid to join the WHA, Motegi said when answering questions in a session of the Japanese House of Representatives. The US, Canada and Australia have also expressed support for Taiwan’s WHA bid by various means. “Australia supports Taiwan’s involvement in the World Health Organization’s work and Taiwan’s participation as an observer at the World Health Assembly. While Taiwan’s bid might not succeed, many people are helping Taiwan and “the wind is blowing,” Chen said yesterday at the Central Epidemic Command Center’s daily news briefing.
