Wang Yi said China highly appreciates Papua New Guinea’s decision to close the
Taipei Economic Office in Papua New Guinea. He called the move — following PNG’s
earlier closure of its commercial representative office in Taiwan — another key
step in implementing the One-China principle, saying it is entirely correct and
in PNG’s national and public interest, will further consolidate the political
foundation of China–Papua New Guinea ties, inject momentum into their
comprehensive strategic partnership and serve as a model for other countries
handling Taiwan-related institutions.
