WASHINGTON: The US Senate passed the bill on Thursday that summoned the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to propose a plan to help Taiwan regain his observer status in the World Health Organization, one of the several US offers to increase pressure from Beijing.
Taiwan was expelled from most global organizations such as WHO, the UN Health Office, due to Chinese objections, who consider the island one of the provinces and not a separate country.
Legislation, authorized by round approval, was sponsored by Senator Bob Menendez, Democratic Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Jim Inhofe, the top of the Republic of the Senate Armed Service Committee.
Both are also a joint chairman of the Taiwanese Senate Caucus.
“The US must continue to stand near Taiwan, and do more to reaffirm our support for our international involvement of Ally,” said Menendelez in a statement on Friday.
The size directs the Secretary of State to establish a strategy to obtain observer status in the World Health Assembly, the WHO decision-making agency.
The Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives approved the same bill earlier this year, but there was no word when its size might appear for the vote in a full house.
