The government of The Gambia has announced Thursday evening that it was severing ties with the Republic of China, Taiwan, 18 years since it resumed diplomatic and political relations with the 23-million Asian-island nation.

“After a retrospect of our diplomatic relations with Taiwan for the past 18 years, The Gambia government has come to the conclusion to review and disengage from diplomatic relations with Taiwan with effect from today November 14, 2013,” the presidency announced in statement sent to the Daily Observer.

“This decision has been taken in our strategic national interest. We are proud that we have been a very strong and reliable partner of the ROC for the past 18 years, the results of which are there for every Taiwanese to see. Despite the end of diplomatic ties with Taiwan, we will still remain friends with the people of Taiwan,” it concludes.
