The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office supports the Department for Health in lobbying for Taiwan's participation in World Health Organisation (WHO) meetings. The UK is working with likeminded countries to lobby the WHO at official level to issue an invitation to Taiwan to observe the World Health Assembly in November and allow Taiwan to participate in relevant WHO technical meetings. Lessons learnt from Taiwan's effective tackling of the Covid-19 pandemic adds significant value to the international fight against the virus.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 03/11/2020 12:21:55 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	tabling member printed	Baroness Northover
	uin	HL5873
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2020 answer text <p>As we made clear at the UN Security Council remote meeting on the Middle East Peace Process on 20 May, we are deeply concerned by reports that the new Israeli Government coalition has reached an agreement which may pave the way for annexation of parts of the West Bank. The Foreign Secretary reiterated this message in his introductory calls with Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Gantz on 20 May and Israeli Foreign Minister Ashkenazi on 2 June. The UK position is clear: any unilateral moves towards annexation of parts of the West Bank by Israel would be damaging to efforts to restart peace negotiations and contrary to international law. We continue to urge Israel not to take these steps.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 01/07/2020 12:43:14 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
