The One China principle is the prerequisite and foundation for Taiwan to participate in any activities of international organizations, according to Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, Lu Kang.

His comment comes after Taiwan received an invitation to attend the annual World Health Assembly in Geneva as an observer.

"The Director-General of World Health Organization has sent a letter to Taiwan's health authorities, inviting Taiwan to take part in this year's World Health Assembly as an observer in the name of Chinese Taipei."

"This is a special arrangement in line with the One China principle and peaceful development of cross-Strait ties. It fully reflects Chinese mainland's sincere wish to further maintain peaceful development on both sides of Taiwan Strait."

"What I want to stress is that the One-China principle is the prerequisite and foundation for Taiwan to participate in the activities of international organizations. We appreciate the WHO's stance on this issue, and the way it has handled Taiwan's involvement in this year's WHA," Lu Kang said.
