June 14 (Asia Today) -- Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh reaffirmed his country's support for China's position on Taiwan and said issues involving Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang were China's internal affairs during a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Khurelsukh met Wang in Ulaanbaatar on Saturday and said maintaining friendly relations with China was one of the most important priorities of Mongolia's foreign policy, according to Chinese state media.
"Mongolia understands and respects China's positions and concerns and firmly adheres to the one-China principle," Khurelsukh was quoted as saying.
He said Mongolia considers Taiwan an inseparable part of Chinese territory and does not support any form of Taiwanese independence.
