Papua New Guinea says it is shutting down Taiwan’s representative office in its capital, in a move it has decided to take without consulting Taiwan. The announcement says Taiwan’s mission in Port Moresby will be closed to “honor and respect” the country’s One-China Policy. Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim had this to say on the matter.

Hsiao Bi-khim
Vice President
Our diplomatic situation is very, very tricky. China is constantly suppressing our efforts to survive and to expand our international space. Though the closure is a setback, we will continue striving forward, serving Taiwanese communities abroad and continuing to expand Taiwan’s cooperation with the international community.

Papua New Guinea’s foreign minister posted a copy of the official document on social media. The document says that, “the physical presence of Chinese Taipei will no longer be recognized or required within the jurisdiction” of the country. One notable remark can be found at the end of the document, which notes that this year marks the 50th year since Papua New Guinea established bilateral relations with China. As expected, China’s Foreign Ministry has said it highly approves of the move, while Taiwan has condemned the unilateral declaration, adding that the representative office will continue to operate as normal.
