BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) — China highly appreciates South Africa's positive actions in upholding the one-China principle and UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Thursday.
The South African government has reportedly issued a notice stating that the “Taipei Trade Office” in the country’s administrative capital Pretoria will no longer be recognised. South Africa has requested that the office be moved from Pretoria to Johannesburg. The “Taipei Liaison Office in Cape Town” will now be known as the “Taipei Trade Office”.
Commenting on South Africa's decision at a daily press briefing, Guo Jiakun recalled that the one-China principle is the political basis for the establishment and development of China's diplomatic relations with other countries, as well as the basic norm of international relations and the prevailing consensus of the international community.
“This also reflects the true meaning of the comprehensive strategic partnership of cooperation between China and South Africa in the new era,” the diplomat stressed, adding that China is willing to continue to firmly support each other on issues affecting the fundamental interests of the two sides together with South Africa. –0–
