The seven ongoing joint projects between Taiwan and Gambia will proceed as planned despite the western African country's abrupt cutting of diplomatic relations with Taiwan, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Saturday.
Taiwan will
continue to assist Gambia in agriculture, education and women's health,
according to ministry spokeswoman Anna Kao.
Sources
said the ministry has sent officials "of an appropriate level" to The
Gambia for direct communication following the unilateral decision to break off
formal ties.
Gambian
president Yahya Jammeh issued a statement early Friday to say that his
government would end its long relations with Taipei, effective immediately.
