Nigeria denies cutting ties with Taiwan

Garba Shehu

The Presidency on Thursday dismissed as incorrect media reports claiming that Nigeria has cut ties with Taiwan.

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Garba Shehu, disclosed this in a statement in Abuja.

The statement said: “The correct position is that the official relationship between Nigeria and Taiwan has been at the level of trade representation and this has not changed from what it used to be.

“Taiwan trade office is the only Taiwanese representation in Nigeria and Nigeria’s trade office in Taipei is our only representation in Taiwan.

“Nigeria recognises and will sustain the ‘One China’ policy and nothing has happened so far to change that level of relationship.”
