BEIJING (AP) – Chinese state media say Honduras has opened an embassy in Beijing. The move came after the Central American nation severed ties with Taiwan to establish diplomatic ties with China in March. China’s official CCTV said Foreign Minister Qin Gang and his Honduran counterpart Enrique Reina participated in the opening of the embassy on Sunday morning. The symbol of strengthening diplomatic relations between the two sides came during Honduran President Xiomara Castro’s six-day visit to China. Before arriving in Beijing on Saturday night, Castro visited the Shanghai headquarters of the New Development Bank, a bank established by the developing countries of BRICS, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa .
