The Chinese Foreign Ministry has called on Paraguay to develop a clear and comprehensive understanding of the one-China principle. This appeal comes in response to recent comments made by Paraguay's foreign minister regarding the sensitive Taiwan issue.
Lin Jian, a spokesperson for the ministry, emphasized that the one-China principle is a universally acknowledged consensus and a fundamental norm governing international relations. He highlighted that this principle serves as the political foundation and a crucial prerequisite for China to foster bilateral relations with other nations.
\"The principle concerns China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and there is no room for compromise or concessions when it comes to the matter,\" Lin stated firmly during a regular press briefing.
Furthermore, Lin urged Paraguay to align itself with the majority of countries that support international fairness and justice. He encouraged Paraguay to make decisions that genuinely serve the long-term and fundamental interests of its people, reinforcing the importance of stable and respectful international partnerships.
This statement underscores China's ongoing efforts to maintain its stance on the one-China principle while engaging diplomatically with nations around the world.
