Haiti - Diplomacy : Haiti supports the presence of Taiwan in the World Health Assembly
In a note, Prime Minister Joseph Jouthe supports the Government of Haiti in Taiwan (Republic of China), so that Taiwan can participate as an observer in the 73rd session of the World Health Assembly (WHA), which for the first time since the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, will be held by videoconference on May 18 and 19.

"I have the honor to present my thanks to the Republic of China (Taiwan) on behalf of the Haitian people for maintaining their cooperation in helping other countries during the crisis, especially in Haiti.

My Government continues to believe that, with the disproportionate spread of Covid-19 around the world, it is high time that all countries on the planet come together to effectively stop the virus.

The participation by videoconference of Taiwan as an observer in the 73rd session of the World Health Assembly, could thus greatly contribute to 'forge better vigilance and a strengthening of the world health system'

To this end, Haiti strongly supports the participation of Taiwan in this session and renews the assurances of its highest consideration."


Learn more about WHA :
The World Health Assembly is the supreme decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), which generally meets annually in May, in Geneva (Switzerland). Delegations from 194 Member States of WHO participate. WHA is an opportunity for Member States to review the activities of the World Health Organization, to define its objectives, to entrust it with new tasks and to appoint its Director General (every five years), and to control its financial and budgetary policy.

This year the WHA will be held virtually and will take place exclusively in plenary session. The agenda for this meeting will be reduced to two days, before we can consider a resumption of session later in the year.

Note that The agenda of the 73rd World Health Assembly is entirely dedicated to the Covid-19 pandemic, apart from the administrative decisions necessary for the continuity of the work of WHO.
