Taipei, May 23 (CNA) The U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations unanimously passed a bill Wednesday to support Taiwan’s efforts to regain observer status in the World Health Organization (WHO).

The bill was introduced Jan. 29 by U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Jim Inhofe, co-chairs of the U.S. Senate Taiwan Caucus.
