Tajikistan Pledges Adherence to "One China" Policy
Tajikistan said Tuesday that it will continue to uphold its "one China" policy and support China's reunification cause.
Tajikistan made the pledge in a joint statement signed in Dushanbe by visiting Chinese President Jiang Zemin and Tajik President Emomali Rakhmonov on Tuesday morning.
Tajikistan will not accept the rhetoric that described the relationship across the Taiwan Straits as "state-to-state," the statement said.
Opposed to any attempt to create "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan," Tajikistan is also against Taiwan's independence and membership in any international organizations where statehood is required.
Tajikistan reaffirmed its position that it will not develop any official relations or have any official contacts with Taiwan, the statement said.
In the statement, China welcomed the realization of national reconciliation and the smooth presidential and parliamentary elections held in Tajikistan.
In addition, China reiterated its support for the efforts made by Tajikistan and its leaders to safeguard national independence and sovereignty, maintain stability and tackle economic issues in the reconstruction period after the end of conflicts early this year.
