"The Government of the Republic of Nauru today announces that, in the best interests of the Republic and people of Nauru, we will be moving to the One-China Principle that is in line with UN Resolution 2758 which recognises the People's Republic of China (PRC) as the sole legal Government representing the whole of China and seeking resumption of full diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC)," the government wrote on social media.On Saturday, Lai Ching-te of Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was named the winner of the election for the island's head after securing 40.05% of the vote. The DPP itself, however, lost 11 seats in the island's parliament as a result of the elections.After Taiwan's general elections, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reiterated that Taiwan is "an indivisible part of the country and will not become a separate state, it will return to China. "Taiwan has never been a country. It wasn't in the past, and it certainly won't be in the future," Wang said in a joint press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry after voters on the island elected pro-sovereignty candidate Lai Ching-te as regional leader.Taiwan has been governed independently of mainland China since 1949. Beijing views the island as its province, while Taiwan — a territory with its own elected government — maintains that it is an autonomous country but stops short of declaring independence. Beijing opposes any official contacts of foreign states with Taipei and considers Chinese sovereignty over the island indisputable.

Nauru Severs Diplomatic Relations With Taiwan, Moves to One-China Principle
06:37 GMT 15.01.2024 (Updated: 06:59 GMT 15.01.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Republic of Nauru (island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean) has decided to sever diplomatic relations with Taiwan in line with the UN resolution that recognizes China as the sole legal government representing the whole of China and seeks to resume full diplomatic relations with China, the country's government said.
"The Government of the Republic of Nauru today announces that, in the best interests of the Republic and people of Nauru, we will be moving to the One-China Principle that is in line with UN Resolution 2758 which recognises the People's Republic of China (PRC) as the sole legal Government representing the whole of China and seeking resumption of full diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China (PRC)," the government wrote on social media.
On Saturday, Lai Ching-te of Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was named the
winner of the election for the island's head after securing 40.05% of the vote. The DPP itself, however, lost 11 seats in the island's parliament as a result of the elections.
After Taiwan's general elections, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reiterated that Taiwan is "an indivisible part of the country and will not become a separate state, it will return to China.
"Taiwan has never been a country. It wasn't in the past, and it certainly won't be in the future," Wang said in a joint press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry after voters on the island elected pro-sovereignty candidate Lai Ching-te as regional leader.
