美国政府对巴布亚新几内亚在巴新政府压力下关闭台湾代表办事处表示关切,称该事件是北京对台湾恐吓的又一例证。
“我们对巴布亚新几内亚政府单方面下令关闭莫尔兹比港台北经济办事处的报道深感关切,”一名不愿具名的美国国务院发言人周六表示。
“台湾是可靠、志同道合且民主的伙伴,其在世界各地的关系为包括巴布亚新几内亚在内的国家公民带来显著利益,”发言人表示。
“这是北京对台湾及其世界各地支持者施压运动的又一例证,这破坏了各国选择与台湾结盟的主权决定,并威胁国际和平与繁荣,”发言人补充道。
美国国务院是在回应关于台湾周五决定关闭其在巴布亚新几内亚代表办事处的置评请求时发表上述言论的。该办事处于1990年设立,尽管两国没有正式外交关系。
该决定是在巴新政府重新提出单方面要求,要求莫尔兹比港台北经济办事处的人员离开该国并关闭办事处后作出的,台湾外交部表示。
“出于国家尊严、外交自主权和整体国家利益的考虑,并在全面评估后,中华民国[台湾]政府决定关闭该办事处,撤回所有驻外人员,并对双边关系进行全面审查和调整,”该部在周五发表的声明中表示。
这场争端始于7月16日,巴新外交部长贾斯廷·塔卡滕科宣布,他的政府已下令立即关闭台湾在该国的代表办事处,理由是巴新坚持奉行“一个中国”政策。
台湾随即向巴新政府提出正式抗议,但坚持其代表办事处尽管遭到单方面宣布,仍保持运营。
台湾还在7月回应巴新关闭其代表办事处的计划,暂停了从巴新购买现货液化天然气。
台湾外交部表示,中国长期以来利用政治胁迫、经济诱因和外交压力,迫使其他国家接受其政治主张,同时寻求限制台湾的国际存在。
该部表示,巴新政府的决定是北京利用政治和经济杠杆干涉他国外交决策的又一例证,破坏了国际信任和公平,并敦促国际社会认识到中国试图在全球舞台上孤立台湾的努力。
