The FSM says 'no', and our sovereignty is disrespected, with the PRC saying we have achieved a consensus when we have not.
To say it again: China has established a precedent of taking our private citizens in multilateral meetings to formally represent our country without our Government's awareness or approval thereof.
We understand that [China's choice for Ambassador to FSM] Mr. Wu would, upon his arrival, be given the mission of preparing the FSM to shift away from its partnerships with traditional allies such as the U.S., Japan, and Australia.
Our Nation's broader foreign policy outlook--that we are a friend to all, and an enemy to none--is consistent with that of Solomon Islands.
