The Taiwanese delegation chosen to attend this year’s International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) forum will set off for Montreal as planned on Sunday. That’s despite the fact that Taiwan has not been invited to attend this year’s forum.
The transportation ministry says that the delegation will instead hold a separate event where they will thank friendly nations and Taiwan’s diplomatic allies for their support.
The ICAO’s World Aviation Forum will open in Montreal on Tuesday. The forum is held once every three years. Taiwan attended the last forum as an observer. However, the foreign ministry confirmed on Friday that Taiwan has not been invited to attend this year’s forum. It is believed Taiwan did not receive an invitation because Beijing is unhappy with the new government of President Tsai Ing-wen.
