Relationship context
Overview
Kuwait recognizes the People’s Republic of China and follows a one-China policy, which precludes formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Information about direct Taiwanese government cooperation with Kuwait is insufficient to assess Taiwan’s policy toward Kuwait.
Major uncertainties
- The scope of any direct, non-diplomatic government contacts between Kuwait and Taiwan is unclear.
- Details of Taiwanese government policy toward Kuwait are limited.
