Honduras President Xiomara Castro has instructed the country's foreign minister to bring about the opening of official relations with China.The leader of the Central American country had floated the idea of cutting ties with Taiwan and start relations with China during her electoral campaign, but said in January 2022 she hoped to maintain ties with Taiwan.
China has intensified pressure to reduce Taiwan's international footprint, saying the democratically governed island is Chinese territory with no right to state-to-state ties. Taiwan's Foreign Ministry said it was "in the process of understanding" the situation, without giving further details.China does not allow countries with which it has diplomatic relations to maintain official ties with Taiwan.
If Honduras breaks off its relations with Taiwan, it would leave it with formal diplomatic ties with only 13 countries.
