On August 4, the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan published an official statement supporting “the territorial integrity of China in accordance with universally recognized norms and principles of international law.”

“The position of the Republic of Tajikistan on Taiwan remains unchanged; we are committed to the ‘One China’ policy, and our position is outlined in all official foundational Tajik-Chinese documents, recognizing the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legitimate government representing all of China,” the statement noted.

Earlier, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan also supported the PRC’s policy on the Taiwan issue and stated that they support the “One China” policy.

Previously, the Communist Party of Tajikistan, which usually does not respond to geopolitical issues, condemned the visit of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan and called her visit “an obvious provocation in the spirit of the aggressive U.S. line of comprehensive containment of the PRC.”

It was reported earlier that U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan on Tuesday, August 2.

In Taiwan, Pelosi stated that the visit of the U.S. Congressional delegation to Taiwan is a sign that the U.S. unwaveringly supports democratic Taiwan. “Today, as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy, it is more important than ever to demonstrate America’s solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan,” she said.

In response, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the U.S. ambassador to China to express its strong protest regarding Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.

The Chinese Navy also began conducting military exercises in the Taiwan Strait, which will last until Sunday.

China considers the island of Taiwan to be part of its territory and does not recognize the government of the island. Meanwhile, the authorities in Taiwan consider themselves independent from mainland China.
