China opposes Taiwan's Pacific Forum role
The Secretary-General of the Pacific Islands Forum, Baron Waqa, confirmed Taiwan's participation in the annual summit to be held in the Palau archipelago from August 30 to September 4, despite protests from China, which considers Taiwan part of its territory and calls for respect for the principle of China's unity. China has previously expressed concern and urged that China–Forum relations not be harmed, especially after Taipei was excluded from the 2025 version of the forum following Beijing's protests. This ongoing dispute between China and Taiwan revolves around Taiwan's participation in international forums, while Palau remains among Taiwan's diplomatic allies.
