Buttigieg calls for Taiwan participation in UN civil aviation body

MONTREAL/WASHINGTON Sept 27 (Reuters) - U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called on Tuesday for greater participation by Taiwan in a U.N. body overseeing civil aviation, drawing criticism from the Chinese government.

"We believe that all of international civil aviation’s important stakeholders -- particularly those who administer critical airspace, like Taiwan -- should have the opportunity to participate meaningfully in ICAO’s work," Buttigieg said at the ICAO assembly held every three years.

A Chinese government representative at the ICAO responded by saying, "The American comments attempted to create two Chinas, one China and one Taiwan. This is contrary to the United Nations charter."
