DAMASCUS, (ST)_Syria has condemned in the strongest terms the US policy and stances of its officials towards China.
“In coincidence with the 50th anniversary of the issuance of resolution No.2758 for 1971 by the UN General Assembly on the representation of the People’s Republic of China at the United Nations, the US administration escalates its attitudes related to Taiwan issue , in a flagrant hostile interference in the Chinese domestic affairs and in contradiction with the context of resolution No.2758 that poses threat to the security and peace in China and Asia”, an official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement published on Thursday by the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
The source expressed Syria’s concern over Indo-Pacific alliance between the United States, Britain and Australia, warning of an intensified arms race in the region.
Under the arrangement, dubbed AUKUS, the United States and Britain will provide Australia with the technology and capability to deploy nuclear-powered submarines.
The source added that the government of Syrian Arab Republic, based on historic and strong friendly ties between Syria and China, condemns and rejects the US policy and the stances of its officials towards China.
“Syria renews support of the One-China principle against any attempt of intervention in its domestic affairs, particularly in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shenyang,” the source concluded.
