Macedonia expressed support for China's anti-secession law aimed to prevent Taiwan's secession from China, according to a statement released on Monday by the Macedonian Foreign Ministry.

During a meeting with Chinese Ambassador Zhang Wanxue, Macedonian Foreign Minister Ilinka Mitreva reaffirmed that his country respects the one-China policy.

The minister said the Taiwan issue is China's domestic affair and the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legitimate government to represent the entire China.

Mitreva said Macedonia fully appreciates the adoption of the anti-secession law by China's National People's Congress, an action which shows the determination of the Chinese people to realize the unification of China's mainland and Taiwan in a constructive way.

The foreign minister said Macedonia, together with other UN members, supports China's policy to solve the Taiwan issue through dialogue, which is conducive to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region.
