TOKYO - Japanese lawmakers are aiming to hold a "strategic dialogue" with counterparts from the United States and Taiwan this month in an effort to address growing pressure from China, sources with knowledge of the plan said Wednesday.
The first such trilateral meeting, to be held virtually, will seek to build momentum toward Taiwan's participation as an observer at the upcoming annual meeting of the World Health Organization's decision-making body.
Taiwan has been excluded from the World Health Assembly since 2017 due to opposition from China, which regards the democratically self-governed island as a renegade province.
