Taiwan told to vacate embassy in Honduras after ties severed
Deputy Foreign Minister Antonio Garcia issued the order on local television on Monday, following the government'sthat it had opened formal diplomatic relations with Beijing while simultaneously ending its decades-long relationship with Taiwan.
Taipei's embassy in Tegucigalpa's leafy Palmira neighborhood was for years one of the Central American capital's most prominent foreign outposts, as well as the country's second-biggest embassy after the U.S. embassy. "We have to go there to explore the big projects that China can give us," he said, suggesting that China could invest some $10 billion in Honduras in a boon for local workers.
The move leaves Taiwan with only 13 formal allies, mostly poor and developing countries in Central America, the Caribbean and the Pacific.
