"Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson's Office" official account (xws4_fmprc) reported that on the evening of May 24, a reporter asked: According to reports, the government of Burkina Faso issued a statement deciding to "severe diplomatic relations" with Taiwan from now on. What is China’s comment on this?
Answer: We have noticed that the Burkina Faso government issued a statement deciding to sever the so-called "diplomatic" relations with Taiwan, and China appreciates this.
As we all know, in October 1971, United Nations General Assembly 26th session adopted Resolution 2758, clarifying that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the only legal government representing the whole of China. The one-China principle recognized by this resolution has become a general consensus among the international community. The one-China principle involves China's core interests and the feelings of more than 1.3 billion Chinese people, and is also the premise and political basis for China to maintain and develop friendly and cooperative relations with countries around the world.
At present, the China-Africa comprehensive strategic partnership maintains a good development momentum. In September this year, China will host the Beijing Summit of the China-Africa Cooperation Forum, which will surely set off a new climax of China-Africa friendly cooperation. In recent years, Gambia , Sao Tome and Principe have achieved normalization of relations with China and returned to the China-Africa friendly and cooperative family, fully demonstrating that the one-China principle is what the people want, the general trend, and the trend is unstoppable. We welcome Burkina Faso to join the Sino-Africa friendly and cooperative family as soon as possible based on the one-China principle.
