"China's claim is definitely not true because we've been in direct contact with the global health body and we don't need China's approval to attend the meeting," Lin said.
Chen yesterday encouraged the Cabinet to respect the WHO's decision and continue its SARS control efforts.
"I'm confident that the global health body will remove us from the list in no time if there isn't any doubt or rumors about our qualifications," Chen said.
Chen made the remark yesterday morning while receiving Dr. Susan Maloney, leader of a medical group dispatched by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at the Presidential Office.
