Don't interfere in El Salvador's foreign policy: China to US

TIL Desk/World/Beijing/ China urged the US on Friday not to interfere in the foreign policy of El Salvador, following an announcement that Washington was going to review its diplomatic ties with the country over its choice of allies. White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders had announced that Washington would revise its policy on El Salvador after it broke diplomatic ties with Taiwan in favour of China.

“Only the Salvadorians know which decision is correct and serves their interest, we hope the relevant countries can respect the right sovereign states to develop international relations instead of interfere in their internal affairs,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said on Friday.

El Salvador had established diplomatic relations with China after recognizing the One China principle, Lu said. “It corresponds with the trend of times and history, complies with international law and serves the fundamental interests of the two countries,” Lu said, adding that China considered Latin America an important economic ally.
