History

Diplomatic relations were established between the two countries on 9 April 1941, [6] and the exchange of ministers between the two countries began in the form of joint control by the legation in Panama. [7] In June 1957, the Legation of the Republic of China in Honduras was established in Tegucigalpa, and in 1962, the Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary began to reside there. [7] On 20 May 1965, the Embassy of the Republic of China in Honduras was inaugurated in the form of mutual promotion with the Legation of the Republic of China in Honduras. [7]

On 14 March 2023, Honduran President Xiomara Castro announced that she had directed her foreign minister to begin the process of opening official relations with the People's Republic of China. [8] On 26 March, Honduras formally broke ties with Taiwan, and therefore closed their diplomatic offices and established diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China. [9] [10]
