French Senate passes unanimous resolution supporting international presence for Taiwan


The French Senate has passed a unanimous resolution calling for Taiwan’s inclusion in several international bodies including the World Health Organisation (WHO) and its decision-making body the World Health Assembly, a move which would be fiercely opposed by Beijing.

The resolution follows calls from other Western countries for the island-nation’s participation in the international health body to help the global fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
