TAIPEI: Taiwan plans to contribute to a new fund run by the World Bank fund to fight pandemics and will also share vaccines globally once it has enough domestic supply, former Taiwan Vice President Chen Chien-jen told a virtual summit on COVID-19.
Speaking at the summit, Chen said Taiwan supported the goal of vaccinating the world and noted its contribution of masks and other personal protective equipment to countries around the world. "For our common vision of building back better we will seek to contribute to the global health security financial intermediary fund that the United States plans to establish."
Taiwan is locked out of most global bodies due to China's objections, which views the island as one of its provinces with no right to the trappings of a state.
