Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations Between The People's Republic of China and The Dominican Republic

中华人民共和国和多米尼加共和国，根据两国人民的利益和愿望，决定自公报签署之日起相互承认并建立大使级外交关系。

The People's Republic of China and the Dominican Republic, in keeping with the interests and desire of the two peoples, have decided to recognize each other and establish diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level effective from the date of signature of this communiqué.

　　两国政府同意在互相尊重主权和领土完整、互不侵犯、互不干涉内政、平等互利、和平共处的原则基础上发展两国友好关系。

　　多米尼加共和国政府承认世界上只有一个中国，中华人民共和国政府是代表全中国的唯一合法政府，台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分。据此，多米尼加共和国政府即日断绝同台湾的“外交关系”。中华人民共和国政府对多米尼加共和国政府的上述立场表示赞赏。

The two Governments agree to develop friendly relations between the two countries on the basis of the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality, mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence.

The Government of the Dominican Republic recognizes that there is but one China in the world, that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China, and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. Hence the Government of the Dominican Republic severs "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan as of this day. The Government of the People's Republic of China appreciates this position of the Government of the Dominican Republic.
