00:05calls unfair treatment, despite an attempt by host country Cameroon to address the issue.
00:10This comes after Taiwan objected to being labeled a province of China on visa documents issued for
00:16the WTO's ministerial conference. Taiwan's foreign ministry says Cameroon later attempted to provide
00:22visa exemptions for its delegation, but the documents did not list members' nationality
00:27and contained several mistakes, including misspelled names and incorrect genders.
00:32The ministry says this shows Cameroon's lack of sincerity in resolving the issue.
00:52This marks the first time Taiwan will miss this meeting since joining the
00:57WTO in 2002.
