Beijing, Jan 24 (Prensa Latina) China and Nauru formally resumed diplomatic relations on Wednesday after the foreign ministers of both countries signed a joint document.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his Nauru counterpart, Lionel Aingimea, talked in this capital about the future of bilateral relations and resumed ties at the level of ambassador, effective from the date of signature.

Nauru is the latest country to break diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

In this regard, the Chinese Government recently stressed that the one-China principle is non-negotiable and the so-called “dollar diplomacy” is not a go-to tool.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning was responding to media reports that Beijing is allegedly pressuring Nauru to break its ties with Taiwan.

Shortly after the elections in Taiwan, the Government of Nauru decided to re-establish diplomatic ties with Beijing and joined the 182 countries that recognize the one-China principle.
