Taiwan's strategy in seeking inclusion in the World Health Organ-ization as an observer has yet to be set in stone, but officials yesterday expressed optimism in light of the passage of a US Senate bill supporting Taiwan's bid.
"I am happy to be able to share good news with everyone -- the US Senate passed a bill in favor of Taiwan's bid for participation at the World Health Assembly
," Minister of Foreign Affairs Mark Chen (???) said yesterday.
The bill, which authorizes the Secretary of State to initiate a plan to endorse and obtain observer status for Taiwan at the upcoming annual WHA summit in Geneva, cleared the House of Representatives on April 21 and was passed by the Senate on May 6.
