UAE affirms support for China’s sovereignty, importance of ‘One China’ principle

DUBAI: The UAE affirmed its support for China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, while also stressing the importance of respecting the “One China” principle, the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) said in a statement on Thursday. 

The ministry also called for the adherence to relevant United Nations resolutions, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported, without giving further detail. 

The UAE urged parties involved to prioritize diplomatic dialogue in an effort to ensure regional and international stability, the statement added.  

The announcement came after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveled to Taiwan for an official visit – a move highly criticized by China.
