India’s stand

1. India is among the 179 of the 193 member states of the UN that do not maintain any diplomatic ties with Taiwan.

2. The U.S. has been pushing for Taiwan’s inclusion in the WHA, but it requires a simple majority from member states.

3. India will have to decide on this as it takes over as chairperson of the executive board.

4. The government is yet to make a final decision on whether to support the U.S. move to include Taiwan or to accept China’s objections to it.
