Honduran President Xiomara Castro announced that she will establish relations with China.

The Honduran Foreign Ministry announced this Saturday the rupture of relations with Taiwan and the recognition of "one China", a decision that marks the end of the historic recognition of the Central American country to the island of Taiwan.

"The Secretary of State in the Offices of Foreign Relations and International Cooperation, with instructions from the President of the Republic, has communicated to Taiwan the decision to break diplomatic relations between the two," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Honduras "recognizes the existence of only one China in the world, and that the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government that represents all of China," added the note posted on Twitter.

"Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory," says the Honduran government announcement.
