The Guinean National Assembly has decided to recognize and support “the uniqueness” of the people’s Republic of China which it regards as “one and indivisible”, a Foreign Affairs commission report said here Saturday.
The Guinean MPs said in a report of the Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation Commission of the National Assembly that they answered favourably to a request of the Chinese ambassador, asking for the support of a “friendly country” like Guinea on the Taiwan issue.
After discussions and a serious analysis of the situation, the Guinean National Assembly decided to support the 25 October 1971 United Nations resolution 2758, which, recognizes the one-China policy and its non-separation with Taiwan.
“Considering that Taiwan is an integral part of China, the Guinean National Assembly proclaims solemnly that it recognizes only one China, namely the People’s Republic, and recognizes as well that Tibet is part of this China,” the Commission underlined in its report.
The Guinean MPs justified their support by the fact that the People’s Republic of China and Guinea maintain co-operation and friendly relations in various fields since nearly 50 years ago.
The ambassador of China to Conakry, who is very pleased with this support, indicated that the support of Guinea will enable the two countries strengthen the already existing bonds between them.
