Relationship context
Overview
Ethiopia recognizes the People’s Republic of China and follows a One China policy, which constrains official relations with Taiwan. Information about Taiwan’s government policy and direct cooperation toward Ethiopia is insufficient to assess that side of the relationship.
Major uncertainties
- The scope of Ethiopia’s One China policy in its practical dealings with Taiwan is unclear.
- Details of Taiwan government cooperation with Ethiopia are limited.
