In response to media queries on Taiwan's participation at the World Health Assembly this May, the MFA Spokesman said:
"Singapore welcomes the agreement for Taiwan to participate in this year's World Health Assembly (WHA) meeting as an Observer under the name of Chinese Taipei. This is a positive development which demonstrates the determination of both sides to set aside differences in order to cooperate in mutually beneficial areas. This is in the interest of the global community."
