Taiwan will hold two referendums next month on joining the United Nations, the island's election commission says.

The commission's secretary-general, Teng Tien-yu, said the votes would be held on 22 March, the same day as the forthcoming presidential election.
The two referendums have been proposed by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party and the opposition Kuomintang.
Taiwan has no seat at the UN, having lost it to China in 1971. Its attempts to regain membership have been blocked.
Beijing has claimed sovereignty over Taiwan since the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949, when the defeated Nationalist government fled to the island as the Communist Party swept to power.
The island's latest attempt to rejoin the UN, for the first time under the name Taiwan, was blocked in September.
