The African Union (AU) has reaffirmed its commitment to the "One China" policy during a visit by China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi to its headquarters in Ethiopia. This declaration, which denies Taiwan's independence, comes as Wang Yi embarks on a tour of several East African nations.

• The AU statement explicitly reaffirmed that there is "but one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory."
• China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi is on a diplomatic tour of East African countries, including upcoming visits to Somalia, Tanzania, and Lesotho.
• The reaffirmation of the "One China" policy by the AU resonates with China's opposition to Taiwanese independence, particularly after Israel's recent recognition of Somaliland.
