BEIJING, Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Wednesday that the one-China principle is the political foundation and fundamental prerequisite of China-Honduras relations, the growth of the bilateral ties is in the fundamental and long-term interests of both countries and peoples, and that "Taiwan independence" separatist moves are doomed to fail.

Lin's remarks at a regular press briefing came after an official from Taiwan attempted to make contact with two presidential candidates in Honduras.

Lin said that over the past two years and more since the two countries established diplomatic ties, the relationship has grown rapidly with fruitful cooperation in various fields.

He pointed out that China-built agricultural technique schools were completed, procurement agreements on over 10,000 tonnes of whiteleg shrimps were signed by Chinese and Honduran companies, and tobacco from Honduras entered the Chinese market.

In 2024, China's imports of Honduran coffee increased by 14 times year on year, Lin said, adding that China also offered Honduras coffee greenhouses and plantation toolkits, and provided multiple batches of humanitarian supplies when Honduras was hit by hurricane, flooding and other disasters.

Lin went on to say that cooperation in human resource training, government scholarship, tourism and other fields gives a strong boost to the capacity building in long-term development of Honduras.

"These achievements fully demonstrate that the relationship has delivered tangibly to the Honduran people and serves the fundamental and long-term interests of the two countries and two peoples," said Lin.

"'Taiwan independence' separatist activities go in the opposite direction of where the arc of history bends. It is doomed to fail," noted the spokesperson. ■
