MONTREAL–Several countries that have diplomatic ties with Taiwan voiced support for Taipei’s participation in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) assembly on Tuesday.

On the sidelines of the 39th triennial ICAO assembly in Montreal, which began Tuesday, Marshall Islands Transportation and Communications Minister Michael J. Halferty said in a meeting with Taiwanese officials that it was unfortunate that Taiwan could not participate in the ICAO meeting.

“We hope that we can help Taiwan in certain areas be involved (in the assembly) this year,” Halferty said. “In any way and any form we can, we will try to provide information to Taiwan to enhance civil aviation in Taiwan.”

Taiwan was not invited to the event, most likely because of the objections of Beijing, which regularly suppresses Taiwan in the international community.     [FULL  STORY]
