Relationship context
Overview
Benin recognizes the People’s Republic of China under its one-China policy, a position that precludes official diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Information about Taiwan’s government policy and concrete cooperation toward Benin is insufficient to assess that aspect of the relationship.
Major uncertainties
- The extent of any non-diplomatic cooperation between Benin and Taiwan is unclear.
- Details of Taiwan’s government engagement with Benin are limited.
