State councillor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang attended the opening ceremony of the Honduran Embassy in China in Beijing on the 11th, and jointly unveiled the embassy with Honduran Foreign Minister Reina. Qin Gang extended warm congratulations on behalf of the Chinese government, saying that more than two months ago, China and Honduras formally established diplomatic relations on the basis of the one China principle, realizing the long cherished aspirations of the two peoples and ushering in a new era of China Honduras relations. Over the past two months, both sides have firmly fulfilled their commitments to establish diplomatic relations and pushed for a strong start in bilateral relations. The rapid development of China Hong Kong relations fully proves that adhering to the One China principle is an international righteousness, trend, and aspiration. The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Hong Kong conforms to the historical trend and is in line with the fundamental interests of both countries and their peoples. President Castro's current state visit to China is of milestone significance. China is willing to continuously deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with Hong Kong in various fields, and build China Hong Kong relations into a new model of friendly cooperation between countries of different scales, national conditions, and systems. Reina said that the establishment of diplomatic relations with China has opened a new era of Honduras' relations with the world and opened the door for us to a great country with prosperity and development. Hong Fang will firmly adhere to the One China principle. I believe that Hong Kong China relations will continue to strengthen and benefit the people of both countries. (New News Agency)
