Relationship context
Overview
Mauritania recognizes the People’s Republic of China rather than Taiwan, constraining the scope for official Mauritanian-Taiwanese relations. Information about direct government cooperation or other bilateral conduct is insufficient to characterize the relationship more fully.
Major uncertainties
- The extent of any unofficial or practical contact between Mauritanian and Taiwanese authorities is unclear.
- Details of Taiwan’s government policy toward Mauritania are limited.
