At a regular press briefing, Guo reaffirmed the "one China" principle as he was asked to comment on the joint statement made by the US, Japan and South Korea supporting Taiwan (China) to join appropriate international organizations.
The key to upholding peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait lies in abiding by the one-China principle, he said, and the participation of Taiwan in the activities of international organizations can only be handled in accordance with that principle.
The foreign ministers of Japan, the United States, and South Korea released a joint statement after their February 15 meeting in Munich Security Conference. They also emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and strongly opposed any unilateral attempts to change the status quo by force or coercion in the waters of the Indo-Pacific.
