Honduras President Xiomara Castro said on Tuesday she had instructed the country's foreign minister to bring about the opening of official relations with China.
The leader of the Central American country had floated the idea of cutting ties with Taiwan and start relations with China during her electoral campaign, butChina has intensified pressure to reduce Taiwan's international footprint, saying the democratically governed island is Chinese territory with no right to state-to-state ties.
Castro said in the tweet the decision is "a sign of my determination to fulfill the government plan and expand borders."China does not allow countries with which it has diplomatic relations to maintain official ties with Taiwan. If Honduras breaks off its relations with Taiwan, it would leave it with formal diplomatic ties with only 13 countries.
