Guyana on Thursday terminated an agreement with Taiwan to open an office in the South American nation, saying it continued to adhere to the one-China policy.

"The government wishes to clarify that it continues to adhere to the one-China policy and its diplomatic relations remain intact with the People's Republic of China," Guyana's Foreign Ministry said in a statement. 

"The government has not established any diplomatic ties or relations with Taiwan and as a result of the miscommunication of the agreement signed, this agreement has since been terminated," the statement read.

On Thursday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin responded to the "agreement," urging Guyana to "earnestly take steps to correct their mistake."

There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, said Wang. 

"We hope the relevant party will abide by the one-China principle, refrain from any form of official exchanges and establishment of official institutions with Taiwan, take concrete actions to correct the error and eliminate the negative effects," he added.
