Tai-Ex opening

21,812 on turnover of 4.5-billion N-T.
The market closed at a new high on Monday.
It edged above the 21,800-point mark on the back of strong performances by
the electronics and shipping sectors.
The bellwether electronics sector attracted (引起) strong buying, rising by
1.32-per cent.
The transportation index jumped 2.8-per cent, driven primarily by shipping
stocks benefiting from rising freight rates.
Health Minister Calls for Taiwan's WHA Inclusion
Health Minister Chiu Tai-yuan is calling for Taiwan's participation in the
World Health Assembly, under the name of Taiwan or the Republic of China.
The call comes as Chiu is heading delegation to Geneva this week to promote
Taiwan's inclusion ( 加入) in the global health body.
According to Chiu, the W-H-O continues to exclude Taiwan due to political
considerations,
He says this undermines the efforts to create a more comprehensive global
health architecture and greatly hinders pandemic prevention efforts.
The health minister was accompanied by members of a cross-party delegation of
Taiwan lawmakers at the press conference.
Chiang Wan-an Touts Need for Twin-City Forum
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an is hosting a delegation of city officials from
Shanghai this week.
According to the mayor's office, the delegation is visiting for four-days to
help finalize this year's Shanghai-Taipei Twin-City Forum, which will be
hosted by Taipei.
Speaking to reporters, Chiang said the Shanghai delegation's itinerary
follows all legal requirements and has been approved by the Mainland Affairs
Council.
The mayor also stressed (強調) that he firmly believes the forum should take
place, despite the current cross-strait situation.
Chiang points out it is the only official communication mechanism between the
two sides.
He says there should be "no adjustments in the level of visitation."

Canada Town Residents Return as Wildfire Continues
Residents in the western Canadian city of Fort Nelson, British Columbia, are
being allowed to return home.
Thousands were evacuated from the community for more than two weeks due to
wildfires.
Local authorities rescinded their evacuation orders Monday, lifting
roadblocks and clearing the way for people to go home.
The residents were forced to leave on May 10th, when strong winds pushed a
wildfire close to town.
The 123-square-kilometer wildfire is now classified as “being held", meaning
its not expected to grow.
But the blaze hasn't been extinguished (撲滅).
Officials say parts of it are expected to continue burning into the fall.
That was the I.C.R.T. news,
Check in again tomorrow for our simplified version of the news, uploaded
every day in the afternoon.
Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm _____.
