Brazil reiterated Tuesday its adherence to the one-China policy and its opposition to Taiwan's attempts to hold a referendum on its entry to the United Nations under the name of "Taiwan."
"The Brazilian government is aware of (Taiwan's) initiative to hold a referendum on its entry into the United Nations as a member state," said Brazil's Foreign Affairs Ministry in a statement.
"Brazil restates its support for the one-China policy and the peaceful efforts to reunite all Chinese territory. The Brazilian government joins the international community in condemning unilateral movements that compromise peace and stability in the region," added the statement.
The Taiwan authorities, under Chen Shui-bian, last month submitted a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, raising a controversial application to join the UN under the name of "Taiwan."
It has been pushing for a "referendum" in Taiwan on its entry into the UN under the name of "Taiwan," fuelling tensions between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.
