The European Commission declared the EU's interest in maintaining the status quo in the Taiwan Strait

“We have seen recent media reports of the arrival of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Taiwan.

We do not have a specific comment, ”she said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to her, the European Union calls for a peaceful solution to problems on both sides of the strait.

“Appropriate channels of communication should be maintained to reduce the risk of misjudgments.

As part of the EU's One China policy, we recognize the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China, and maintain friendly relations and close cooperation with Taiwan in a wide range of areas,” Massrali said.

Earlier, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that Beijing will definitely take all necessary countermeasures in connection with Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov linked the trip of the chairman of the US House of Representatives to Taiwan with Washington's desire to demonstrate its permissiveness and impunity.
