Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi has requested Kyrgyzstan's support for Taliban positions at the United Nations Security Council. This request was made during a phone call with Kyrgyz Foreign Minister Jeenbek Kulubaev. Kyrgyzstan was elected in June as a non-permanent member of the Security Council for the 2027-2028 term. Muttaqi described Kyrgyzstan's election as a 'significant achievement' and emphasized the importance of 'mutual cooperation and support' between Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan within the Security Council framework. The two ministers also discussed high-level exchanges, political consultations, and efforts to strengthen bilateral relations, including expanding political ties and economic cooperation through trade, investment, and joint projects.

China Objects to Panama-Taiwan Parliamentary Group, Citing One-China Principle

China Objects to Panama-Taiwan Parliamentary Group, Citing One-China Principle

China's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun has expressed strong opposition to any official interactions and contacts between countries with diplomatic ties to China and Taiwanese officials. This statement comes after reports that some Panamanian lawmakers established a 'Panama-Taiwan parliamentary friendship group,' with U.S. lawmakers reportedly participating in its opening via video link. Guo emphasized that no external force would be allowed to interfere in China's internal affairs. Panama's President Jose Raul Mulino clarified that foreign relations fall under the executive branch's authority, and the lawmakers' contacts with Taiwan do not imply government approval. Guo reiterated that there is only one China, and Taiwan is an inseparable part of Chinese territory. He warned that crossing the line on the Taiwan issue would lead to serious consequences and urged Panama to uphold its commitment to the one-China principle through concrete actions to protect the political foundation of China-Panama r...

China Opposes Panamanian Lawmakers' Engagement with Taiwan, Citing One-China Principle Violation

China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun has expressed strong opposition to any official engagements between its diplomatic partners and Taiwan authorities, following reports that some Panamanian lawmakers established a 'Panama-Taiwan parliamentary exchange group.' Guo stated that such actions seriously violate the one-China principle, which Panama upholds. He reiterated that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. While Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino has clarified that "foreign relations are directed by the Executive" and that parliamentarians' engagements with Taiwan "does not mean that the Executive endorses them," China urges Panama to honor its commitment to the one-China principle with real actions. China also called on the United States to adhere to the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, urging it to stop sending incorrect messages to "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and to cease disrupting China-...
