Costa Rica Opposes Bejing Use of Force Against
Taiwan
The Costa Rican Ministry of Foreign Affairs
issued a statement Thursday calling for maintaining the status quo
across the Taiwan Strait and urging dialogue between Taiwan and mainland
China to resolve disputes peacefully.
As a peace-loving country, Costa Rica opposes any use of force
unilaterally adopted by one side against the other, putting cross-strait
peace at stake, the statement says, adding that it is the common
position of all the world's peace-loving countries regarding the
cross-strait situation.
Costa Rica, like all other countries in the world, hopes that Taiwan and
China can boost their mutual understanding and communications and
conduct negotiations to mend their differences based on the principles
of peace, friendship and respect for the people's free will, it says.
Peace and stability in the strait and Southeast Asia must not be undone
by either side through non-peaceful means, it stresses.
The National People's Congress, Beijing's ceremonial parliament, passed
the Anti-Secession Law March 14 with an aim of fending off Taiwan
independence.
