SOCHI -- Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday reiterated that the country sticks to one-China policy.

Speaking at a weekly briefing in the resort town of Sochi, the ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia is "monitoring the situation" after recent elections in China's Taiwan.

"We would like to stress that whoever leads the administration of the island, our position on the Taiwan issue is consistent, firm and unalterable," she said.

The Russian side recognizes that there is only one China, that the government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government which represents the whole of China, and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, Zakharova said.
