Tegucigalpa, 26 Mar (Xinhua) -- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Honduras issued a statement on the afternoon of 25 March local time, announcing the severance of so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. On March 26, Beijing time, China and Honduras established diplomatic relations.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Honduras issued a statement saying that the Honduran government recognizes that there is only one China in the world, that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government representing China, and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory.
The Hong Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the "severance of diplomatic relations" via Twitter.
On the afternoon of the 25th, Xinhua News Agency reported that a group of seven people arrived in Honduras.
Due to the relatively backward economic development and weak infrastructure, Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, does not have an international airport and international flights cannot land. It takes an hour's drive from nearby Palmerola Airport to the capital.

When the reporter landed by plane, the first impression of Honduras was that it was full of mountains. The road from the airport to the capital city is also undulating, and many houses are built along the mountain. More than three-quarters of Honduras is mountainous and plateau, making it the most mountainous country in Central America.

In Tegucigalpa, journalists saw streets with multicultural elements, including modern buildings, buildings with indigenous civilization styles, and buildings with a strong Spanish colonial style.
Upon arrival in the capital, the Xinhua reporting team immediately engaged in intense reporting work, about to bring more coverage from Honduras.
