China says Honduran leader to visit ‘as soon as possible’

Honduran President Xiomara Castro will visit China “as soon as possible” to draw up a blueprint for bilateral relations after Honduras cut off diplomatic ties with Taiwan. China welcomes the visit and is willing to enhance political mutual trust and cooperation.
