Honduras Also Approaches China

Although Taiwan maintains its financial support with countries in the region, the rise of China as a trading power is forcing a diplomatic approach with the great Asian tiger.

Monday, June 24, 2013

An article in Laprensa.hn reports on the inevitable: "The Government of Honduras' flirtations with China are becoming more intense, and analysts point to the potential realization of trade and diplomatic relations, in an attempt to capitalize on the growing political and economic influence of the Asian giant in the countries of the region. "

"... In late April, the then Foreign Minister Arturo Corrales and Finance Secretary Wilfredo Cerrato, traveled to mainland China to seek support for a diverse portfolio of infrastructure projects, including Patuca III, the hydroelectric dam, and the Inter-Oceanic Railway linking the Pacific to the Atlantic. "

"... Following that trip, the Ambassador of Honduras in Taiwan, Mario Fortin, received an emergency call from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which gave rise to various speculations of a possible rupture of diplomatic relations with Taipei in order to strengthen ties with Mainland China . "
