The United Nations (UN) on Thursday reiterated that Taiwan is a province of China.

Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said the UN abides by the relevant resolution adopted at the UN General Assembly in 1971, during a regular press briefing.

On October 25, 1971, the 26th session of the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758 with an overwhelming majority, which decided to restore the lawful rights of the People's Republic of China (PRC) in the UN and to recognize the representatives of the PRC government as the only legitimate representatives of China to the UN.
