Haiti - Diplomacy : China/Taiwan tension, reaction of Haiti
10/08/2022 09:57:44

Following the heightened tensions between China and Taiwan after the visit of Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the US House of Representatives, despite repeated warnings from Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China, Haiti, which has maintained diplomatic relations with Taiwan since 1956 via its Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a diplomatic note dated August 8, 2022, reacted officially.

Diplomatic Note from Haiti :

"The Government of the Republic of Haiti is deeply concerned by the recent rise in tension observed in the Taiwan Strait due to the unprecedented military maneuvers carried out by the Armed Forces of the People's Republic of China.

This situation of tension supported by a threat of real use of force is potentially dangerous and risks compromising peace and security not only in the area of the Taiwan Strait but also in the entire Indo-Pacific region.

The Republic of Haiti has always considered the Beijing-Taiwan dispute as a conflict that must be resolved through frank and open dialogue between the two parties, in accordance with the rules of international law and the principles set out in the United Nations Charter.

In a world already plagued by innumerable challenges, the international community must do everything to avoid a crisis in Southeast Asia."

Remember that 14 states (mostly small) recognize and maintain diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Only Saint Vincent and the Grenadines does not yet have a diplomatic representation in Tapei (Capital of Taiwan).

Africa: Swaziland
Europe: The Vatican
Oceania: Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Tuvalu
Caribbean: Haiti, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Central America: Belize, Guatemala, Honduras
South America: Paraguay
