BEIJING - Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda said on Friday that Japan does not support Taiwan authorities' attempts to seek UN membership through "referendum" and moves that may change status quo of the cross-Strait relations.

Fukuda stressed that Japan would give no support to the claims of "one China, one Taiwan", "Taiwan independence" or Taiwan authorities' attempts to join the United Nations and to seek UN membership through "referendum".

Fukuda made the remarks during his talks with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao here.

"We know that the Taiwan issue concerns China's fundamental interests and we have been keeping our promises," he said.

He noted that there had been no change in Japan's stance on the Taiwan issue as stated in the Japan-China Joint Statement.
