se people including 23 million patriots. The Taiwan question must be resolved by the billion Chinese people ourselves. Recently, there have been positive signs of sound interactions between the two sides. At the invitation of Mr. Hu Jintao, the SecretaryGeneral of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Mr. Lien Chan, Chairman of Kuomingtang (KMT) and Mr. James Soong, Chairman of People First Party in Taiwan visited mainland successively. The two sides exchanged views on issues of mon concern to the people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. This will have positive and farreaching impact on the promotion of economic exchanges and cooperation and peaceful and stable development of the crossStraits relations. Facts have proved that the Chinese people have the wisdom, capability, and ways to solve their own problems. This positive development is hardwon, therefore we should cherish it. We hope such trend will go on and oppose anyone?s deliberate sabotage. We also hope that the few countries will no longer instigate conflicts or affect the crossStraits cooperation, nor interfere in China?s internal affairs.Madame Chairperson, distinguished Ministers, and fellow delegates,The Taiwanrelated proposal tabled by a few countries has severely interrupted the normal order of the Assembly, undermined unity among Member States, wasted a lot of time and resources, and is opposed by the majority of Member States. Such situation should not continue any more. The Chinese Government is ready to make efforts to promote technical exchanges between health professionals from Taiwan and WHO. We hope that the Taiwan authorities will proceed from the health interests of 23 million Taiwan people and make positive response to our acts of good will. We hope those few countries will abide by the UN Charter and norms of international law, respect the provisions of the Constitution of WHO, and no longer put forward such proposals aimed at splitting China and sabotaging crossStraits cooperation. I strongly appeal to all the delegates here to understand and support the Chinese government?s position, give unanimous support to the remendation made by the General Committee, and oppose the inclusion of the Taiwanrelated proposal in the provisional agenda of this Assembly.Thank you, Madame Chairperson. 6 / 6
