The WTO is one of the few ‌international bodies that Chinese-claimed Taiwan takes part in, having joined in 2002 as the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu, referring to islands Taipei also controls.

Last week, Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry said it had complained to the WTO and Cameroon that the African country had listed the island as “Taiwan, province of China” in pre-travel documentation issued by Cameroon.

Late on Thursday, the Ministry said Cameroon ⁠subsequently proposed a remedial measure to exempt Taiwan’s delegation from visa requirements, but those documents were full of errors, misspelling names and listing almost everyone as being female.

“This shows that the Cameroonian side handled the matter carelessly and without sincerity,” the Ministry said.
