Central American Parliament includes China as observer

Parlacen is a six-nation parliament that groups Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Panama…reports Asian Lite News

The Central American Parliament (Parlacen) on Monday approved of including China as its permanent observer in a meeting held in Nicaraguan capital Managua.

Parlacen is a six-nation parliament that groups Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and Panama, serving as the political institution and parliamentary body of the Central American Integration System.

Taiwan’s foreign ministry said it had decided to withdraw from Parlacen immediately in the interest of upholding “national dignity”, and condemned what it called Chinese efforts to suppress Taiwan’s international participation, Reuters reported.

In a statement, Parlacen cited the United Nations’ 1971 expulsion of Taiwan in favor of China, saying this deemed Taiwan to be a “province of mainland China, which disqualifies it from participating as an independent country”, it was reported.
