BEIJING: It is a smooth process for technical experts from the Taiwan region to participate in the World Health Organisation (WHO) technical activities under the one-China principle, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said here on Tuesday (May 12).

Spokesperson Zhao Lijian's remarks came after the foreign affairs department of Taiwan authorities said Monday that the Chinese mainland signed a confidential Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the WHO in 2005 on affairs related to the Taiwan region's participation in the WHO activities.
