Pakistan, North Korea back China stance on Pelosi’s Taiwan visit
ISLAMABAD (AA) – Pakistan and North Korea backed China’s position on US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan on Wednesday, reaffirming their strong support for the “One-China” policy.
Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry in Islamabad said in a statement that the country reaffirms its strong commitment to the “One-China” policy and firmly supports China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
While expressing deep concern over the evolving situation in the Taiwan Strait, Islamabad stated that it has serious implications for regional peace and stability.
North Korea, while putting its support behind China, said Taiwan is an inseparable part of China and the issue of Taiwan pertains to the internal affairs of China.
While denouncing Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan, North Korea stated that the US will bear full responsibility for all consequences.
Meanwhile, South Korea has called for regional peace and stability through dialogue.
On Thursday, Pelosi will travel to Seoul and meet with her South Korean counterpart, Kim Jin-pyo. However, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has no plan to meet her as he is currently on summer vacation, according to the agency.
Despite a string of warnings, including military action, Pelosi flew to Taiwan from Malaysia on Tuesday.
Pelosi, the first US House of Representatives speaker to visit Taiwan in 25 years, will meet Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen and also engage with Taiwanese lawmakers.
