Niklas Swanström was quoted by Taiwan News on the importance of supporting Taiwan’s participation in the WHA

April 24, 2023: Niklas Swanström, ISDP’s Executive Director, was quoted in several Taiwanese news outlets, among others in English in Taiwan News:

The Sweden-Taiwan Parliamentarian Association (STPA) held a symposium emphasizing the importance of supporting Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Assembly (WHA) on Wednesday (April 19).

Niklas Swanström said that health care is a basic human rights issue and called on the Swedish government and the EU president to lead and coordinate EU member states to support Taiwan. Taiwan’s participation in the WHA as an observer has nothing to do with political status, he said.
