Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa announced the European Union country is preparing an exchange of representatives with Taiwan, a move that could worsen relations with China but was welcomed by Taipei on Tuesday.

Lithuania’s decision last year to allow Taiwan to open a representative office under its own name infuriated Beijing, which downgraded diplomatic ties with the Baltic state in November.

Jansa criticized China’s policy on Taiwan saying “it’s difficult to listen to a capital with a one-party system lecturing about democracy and peace around the world” and added the current Covid-19 epidemic had shown how beneficial it would be if Taiwan were allowed to join the World Health Organization .

“I think it would also benefit China to have a neighboring country be a member of such an organization, because we saw exactly in this pandemic situation that the virus doesn’t know any borders,” Jansa said in the interview published on the Slovenian government’s website.“Prime Minister Jansa is a good friend of Taiwan and he had visited Taiwan multiple times before.

Slovenia, a former Yugoslav state that joined the EU in 2004, has been part of China’s “17 + 1” cooperation group created in 2012 to promote Chinese investments in Central and Eastern European countries.
