Nigeria has once again reaffirmed its commitment to the one China policy noting that the  recent  election in China’s Taiwan region and any aspiration for its  independence  contradict the principles of Nigeria’s foreign relations with China as it  negates all scientific principles of China’s sovereignty.

This position  is contained in a statement by Hon. Ja’afaru Yakubu the  Chairman, House Committee on

Nigeria-China Relations.

Hon Ja’afaru also reaffirmed  Nigeria’s readiness to  constantly adhere to the one-China Principle noting that, “There is but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China’s territory, and the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China.

 “Nigeria opposes any separatist activity aimed at ‘Taiwan independence’ and foreign interference in internal affairs of other states and  fully supports China’s strive in achieving peaceful reunification,” the statement added.
