In a brief statement late on Saturday announcing the severing of ties, the Honduran foreign ministry said it recognised the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate government that represents all of China and that Taiwan is an "inseparable part of Chinese territory". Speaking on Sunday in Taipei shortly after the announcement, Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said Castro, who took office early last year, and her government had "always had illusions" about China and China's "luring" had never stopped.
China has yet to comment on the Honduran announcement on cutting Taiwan ties but it said last week it was ready to establish relations.
