Basseterre, St. Kitts, February 7, 2018 – The Presidential Palace in the Republic of China (Taiwan) has said that contrary to media reports, neither the president nor vice president of Taiwan is planning to visit St. Kitts and Nevis and diplomatic allies in Africa and the Caribbean soon.
The statement was made in response to reporters’ questions about reports that President Tsai Ing-wen is scheduled this year to visit four of Taiwan’s diplomatic allies in the Caribbean and two in Africa.
When any visits by Taiwan’s two top leaders are scheduled, the Presidential Office usually informs the public.
The countries mentioned in the report were Swaziland and Burkina Faso in Africa, and St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean.
