Pakistan Closes Airspace to Taiwanese Airlines Under One China Policy

News Desk

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has officially closed its airspace to Taiwanese airlines, aligning with its commitment to the One China Policy. This decision was reported on Thursday and reflects Islamabad’s ongoing diplomatic stance regarding Taiwan.

The closure of airspace comes amid heightened tensions between China and Taiwan, with Pakistan reaffirming its support for Beijing’s territorial claims.

An official statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that the move is in accordance with Pakistan’s longstanding policy of recognizing the sovereignty of China over Taiwan.

This development has significant implications for regional aviation and international relations, as it may affect travel routes and trade between Taiwan and other countries.

Analysts suggest that this decision could further solidify Pakistan’s ties with China while complicating its relations with Taiwan and its allies.

Looking ahead, experts anticipate potential discussions between Pakistani and Chinese officials to strengthen bilateral cooperation in various sectors, including trade and defense. The aviation sector may also see adjustments as airlines navigate the new airspace restrictions.
