Yu Daye said that we have been negotiating with Hongguo, and he went to Hongguo several times, but no consensus was reached during the process, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that it is not suitable for the president to visit at this time; he also mentioned that Vice President Lai Qingde had visited Hongguo last year. On behalf of President Tsai attended the meeting of Honduran President Chowmara.

We also made it clear that we will not play money with the old In the competition game, they are not us who are playing check diplomacy, but Taiwan, the Republic of China, is a friend of Hongguo, and the plan we promised will definitely be implemented.

The foreign minister's statement is somewhat different from the reality.

Yu Daye said that the spokesperson of the US government and the Secretary of State have stated to the outside world that they respect the exchanges between countries, but they also mentioned that Taiwan has many things to contribute. Taiwan is a good force and a good partner, and warned Honduras Don't fall into the trap of Chinese money or promises, that's what they say openly.
