On May 14, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Foreign Minister of Honduras Eduardo Enrique Reina García in Beijing.
Wang Yi said that with the joint efforts of both sides, the Fourth Ministerial Meeting of the China-CELAC Forum concluded successfully. It has injected strong momentum into strengthening solidarity and coordination of the Global South, practicing multilateralism, safeguarding common interests, defending the basic norms governing international relations, and jointly building a community with a shared future for mankind. China appreciates the contributions made by Honduras, as the co-chair of CELAC, to this meeting. China is ready to work with Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries, including Honduras, to continue supporting and helping each other, deepening mutually beneficial cooperation, and jointly pursuing development and revitalization. By achieving respective development goals, China and LAC countries will make the world more peaceful, stable, equal, and orderly.
Wang Yi said that China appreciates Honduras' reaffirmation of its commitment to the one-China principle. China supports Honduras in safeguarding its sovereignty, independence and dignity, and is ready to work with Honduras to strengthen political mutual trust, deepen practical cooperation, and enrich people-to-people and cultural exchanges, so as to deliver more benefits of the establishment of diplomatic relations. China has found a successful development path to achieve rapid economic growth while maintaining long-term social stability, which has provided useful reference for countries that seek to accelerate development while upholding their independence. China is willing to share its governance experience with Honduras, support the country in exploring a development path suited to its national conditions and supported by its people, and will continue to provide assistance within its capabilities for the improvement of people's livelihoods and capacity building in Honduras.
Eduardo Enrique Reina García extended congratulations to China on the splendid, successful and fruitful Ministerial Meeting of the China-CELAC Forum. The LAC side was greatly encouraged by the important cooperation initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping in his keynote address at the opening ceremony, especially the five programs. The LAC side will work with China to implement the Beijing Declaration and the Joint Action Plan, uphold multilateralism, and defend the principles of international law such as sovereignty, independence, and non-interference in internal affairs, so as to deliver more benefits to the people of LAC countries, China, and the world. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Honduras and China, the two countries have treated each other with mutual respect and equality, and mutually beneficial cooperation has constantly yielded fruitful outcomes. This fully demonstrates that establishing diplomatic relations with China is the right political decision, in line with the trend of the world and the times. Honduras will firmly abide by the one-China principle and work to translate the important common understandings reached between the two heads of state into more tangible results.
