China to firmly oppose any country's diplomatic ties with Taiwan: Spokesperson
August 27, 2020
BEIJING, August 27 (INP): There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is its inalienable part, it was reiterated by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
The Ministry' spokesperson Zhao Lijian said at a news conference that China firmly opposes any country having diplomatic ties with China making any form of official contact and exchanges with Taiwan, including the establishment of official institutions in each other's places.
France should abide by the one-China principle and prudently and properly handle issues related to Taiwan. The attempts of the DPP authorities to carry out separatist activities in the international arena will not succeed, he added.
Replying to a question about Iran, Zhao Lijian said, " China has expounded on its position on the Iranian nuclear issue many times recently. The statement by the current President of the Security Council reflects the position of the overwhelming majority of the Security Council members and the consensus of the international community. As State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed the other day, China supports the establishment of an alternative multilateral dialogue platform on the premise of firmly safeguarding the effectiveness and authority of the JCPOA on the Iranian nuclear issue, where all parties can raise their concerns and forge new consensus on maintaining regional peace and stability. We are ready to work with relevant parties to push for the political and diplomatic resolution of the Iranian nuclear issue." INP/JAVED
