TAIWAN AND THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANISATION

That this House supports Taiwan's campaign for meaningful participation in international organisations; notes with concern Taiwan's continued exclusion from meaningful participation in United Nations-specialised agencies; further supports Taiwan's bid to participate meaningfully in the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO); recognises that Taiwan provides important regional air-transport services being a key air-transport hub linking northeast and southeast Asia with 2,600 weekly flights with neighbouring countries; further recognises that if ICAO is to ensure the integrity of the global civil aviation safety network then Taiwan's participation is indispensable; acknowledges that past ICAO practices and the existing legal basis allow for Taiwan's meaningful participation in ICAO meetings, mechanisms and activities; and calls on the Government to support Taiwan's bid for meaningful participation in the ICAO through observer status in ICAO decision-making bodies, technical meetings, mechanisms and direct contact with the ICAO and its Asia and Pacific office.
