On Referendum in Taiwan

March 17, 2008

On February 1, 2008 the Taiwan administration adopted a decision on holding the referendum on March 22, 2008 on joining the United Nations as “Taiwan”.

It is quite obvious that holding the referendum in no way shall change the international status of Taiwan. Its holding may only lead to a serious exacerbation of tension in the Taiwan Strait and have a negative impact on maintaining stability in the Asian region.

In this regard, the Republic of Uzbekistan, once again reaffirming its adherence to the “one China” policy, stands against the independence of Taiwan and calls upon to renounce the plans to hold referendum on its joining the United Nations.
