Relationship between St Kitts and Nevis And the Republic of China (Taiwan)
The Federation of St Kitts and Nevis and the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) have enjoyed a friendship which spans more than twenty-five years of independence. In October 1983, the Republic of China (Taiwan) was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with our young nation.

The Republic of China maintains an Embassy in each of the allied countries, St Kitts and Nevis being no exception. In a spirit of reciprocity, in January 2008, to demonstrate the Government’s commitment to the mutually beneficial relationship, the Government of St Kitts and Nevis established an Embassy in Taipei, the capital of the Republic of China (Taiwan).

Our relationship with the ROC revolves principally on cooperation programmes including community development, agriculture, education and training and cultural exchanges.

The focus of the Taiwanese Agricultural Mission includes Crop Development, Exotic Fruit Trees, Pineapple, Agro-Processing and Floriculture. The work of the Mission is to share best practices in farming and to develop sustainable management and increase the unit yield to promote productivity.
