The Joint Communique on Sino-Bahamian Friendship and Cooperation was jointly signed by Premier Yu Kuo-hwa of the ROC and Prime Minister Lynden Pindling of the Bahamas.
The spokesperson says China urges the U.S. to stop its provocations and honor its commitment to the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques.
The two countries have decided to recognize each other and restore diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level, effective from the date of signature of the communique.
The secretary general said Mr. Assad's recent speech rejected the political transition spelled out in what's known as the Geneva communique, an internationally agreed blueprint for change in Syria.
A foreign ministry spokesperson says the move violates the one-China principle and renounces the political commitment made by Lithuania in the communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations with China.
