Taiwan affirms strong ties with Haiti amid leadership changes

Taiwan says its relationship with Haiti remains strong and that it has established friendly and solid relations with Haiti's transitional government.

Haiti is among a handful of CARICOM countries with diplomatic relations with Taiwan, despite efforts by China for countries to adopt the "One China" policy and break off relations with Taipei, which it describes as a renegade province.

Taiwan says it looks forward to Haiti's continued progress in restoring constitutional and social order and aims to strengthen cooperation with Haiti's new administration to deepen their diplomatic ties.
