Pakistan on Wednesday reiterated its principled one-China policy and firm opposition to the so-called referendum on U.N. membership by the Taiwan authorities.
In the weekly news briefing here, Foreign Office spokesman Muhammad Sadiq said Pakistan has all along maintained its principled position of one China and that Taiwan is an integral and inalienable part of the People's Republic of China, which is the sole government representing the whole of China including Taiwan.
Pakistan has always opposed the attempts to bring up the question of Taiwan's membership in the UN bodies, Sadiq said, adding that Islamabad firmly opposed the so-called referendum on UN membership by the Taiwan authorities and would continue to oppose any such attempts in future.
"Resolution 2758 adopted at the 26th session of the UN General Assembly in 1971 has fully resolved the issue of China's representation in the United Nations in the political, legal and procedural terms," Sadiq told Xinhua.
He said, "the United Nations is an international organization composed of sovereign states. Taiwan is part of China, and therefore there is no such thing as the so-called Taiwan returning to the United Nations. The so-called joining the United Nations under the name of Taiwan is even more absurd."
