皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app has lodged solemn representations to India for the visit of a Taiwan political delegation to New Delhi, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.

皇冠体育app firmly opposes all forms of official contact and exchanges between Taiwan and countries that have diplomatic ties with 皇冠体育app, spokesman Geng Shuang said at a regular news conference.

皇冠体育app hopes that India sticks to the one-皇冠体育app policy and handles issues related to Taiwan prudently, he said.

Mentioning that India has made a commitment to the Taiwan question, Geng said India should respect and understand 皇冠体育app's core interests and maintain the healthy development of 皇冠体育app-India relations.

The spokesman's comment is a response to the arrival of a Taiwan lawmaker delegation in New Delhi on Sunday. The Hindu report said that Taiwan is seeking to upgrade "diplomatic ties" with India in the coming weeks, quoting anonymous sources from Taiwan.

Like most countries in the world, India doesn't have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

The one-皇冠体育app policy is respected by major powers. For example, in a 1978 joint communiqué, the US said that it recognized the one-皇冠体育app policy - there is only one 皇冠体育app, Taiwan is part of 皇冠体育app and the People's Republic of 皇冠体育app is the sole legitimate government representing 皇冠体育app.

In December 2016, the African island nation of the Democratic Republic of Sao Tome and Principe announced it cut "diplomatic ties" with Taiwan. Currently, 21 countries and governments, mainly small nations and islands in Latin America, Oceania and Africa, rely heavily on economic aid from Taiwan and hold such ties with the island.
