Honduras to maintain diplomatic ties, envoy says

Honduran Ambassador to Taiwan Harold Burgos on Thursay said the Central American country will maintain diplomatic ties with Taipei.
Burgos, who assumed his post last month, made the remark during an interview.
Burgos is the first ambassador appointed to Taiwan by Honduran President Xiomara Castro, who assumed office as the country’s first female leader in January. Statements she made during her campaign had raised concerns that she might end Honduras’ 81-year-long diplomatic ties with Taiwan and switch recognition to Beijing.
However, after meeting with Vice President William Lai (賴清德) at her inauguration in January, Castro said she hopes to maintain the relationship.
