Newly inaugurated Honduran President Nasry Asfura is reviewing agreements his predecessor, Xiomara Castro, made with China before deciding whether Honduras should restore diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Asfura is weighing the terms of those China-related arrangements and has not yet announced a final decision. The reporting comes from interviews conducted by Bloomberg on May 6, when Asfura spoke with Erik Schatzker on the sidelines of the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills. The coverage frames the review as a step preceding any potential shift in Honduras’ official stance toward Taiwan, which would represent a change from the posture established under Castro. The sources do not provide additional details on which specific agreements are under review, the scope of the China commitments, or the criteria Asfura is using to reach a decision. Both outlets describe the same basic timeline and political process: the new administration re-examines prior agreements, then considers whether to reverse course by restoring relations with Taiwan.
