Leaders of many countries, int'l organizations reiterate commitment to one-China principle: spokesperson

BEIJING, May 21 (Xinhua) -- Leaders of many countries and heads of international organizations have recently reiterated their commitment to the one-China principle, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said Tuesday.

Wang made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a related query and quoted statements of the leaders and heads of international organizations.

Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said that Kazakhstan is firmly committed to the one-China principle and this position will never change.

President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev noted that the elections in the Taiwan region are China's internal affair and other countries have no right to interfere or point fingers at it. He stressed once again that Uzbekistan's commitment to firmly upholding the one-China principle will never waver.

President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov expressed firm support for China on issues concerning Taiwan, Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Xizang.

Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari said Pakistan firmly upholds the one-China principle and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, which is beyond any doubt.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro noted there is but one China in the world and in the UN-centered international system. This is a fact that is beyond doubt. Any attempt to undermine the one-China principle is doomed to failure.

Kiribati President and Foreign Minister Taneti Maamau stated support for the right position that China upholds on ensuring national reunification, sovereignty and territorial integrity and Kiribati's commitment to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Resolution 2758.

The 33rd Ordinary Session of the Council of the League of Arab States at the Summit Level adopted a resolution reaffirming the commitment to the one-China principle.

The Prime Minister of Guyana Mark Phillips noted he does not support Taiwan in joining any international organization that requires sovereign statehood or participating in international conferences.

The Prime Minister of Tonga Hu'akavameiliku said Tonga is committed to the one-China principle and firmly supports UNGA Resolution 2758.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia supports China in achieving national reunification on the Taiwan question, and this position is very clear.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia Marko Djuric said Serbia has only one policy on the Taiwan question, that is the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the friendly and brotherly China is inviolable. Serbia firmly supports the one-China principle, recognizes China within its full borders and believes that how to resolve issues including the Taiwan question is China's own affair.

Sri Lanka's Speaker of Parliament Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana, Botswana's Speaker of the National Assembly Phandu Tombola Chaka Skelemani, Lao Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Saleumxay Kommasith, Office of the Palestinian President, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva, Director-General of the United Nations Office at Vienna, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization, Secretary General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Executive Director of the South Centre and Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization openly reaffirmed their commitment to upholding the one-China principle, following the UNGA Resolution 2758 and opposing all forms of "Taiwan independence" separatism, said Wang.

"Just as Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese Foreign Minister, pointed out, the one-China principle cannot be violated, separatist attempts for 'Taiwan independence' are doomed to fail and the general trend of China's reunification is irreversible," the spokesperson said.

Each time "Taiwan independence" separatists make waves, it reinforces the global consensus that the one-China principle must be upheld and garners understanding and support for China's position -- a good example of the old Chinese adage "a just cause enjoys the support of many," the spokesperson noted.

The abiding commitment of the international community to the one-China principle is unshakable and the trend of the history of China realizing complete reunification is unstoppable. Anyone trying to challenge the one-China principle and hinder China's reunification is attempting the impossible and will only wreck their own reputation, the spokesperson added.
