Relations resumed with Gambia

Beijing has resumed diplomatic ties with Gambia, the West African country that cut "diplomatic" relations with Taiwan in 2013.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his visiting Gambian counterpart Neneh Macdouall-Gaye signed a joint statement on Thursday to resume diplomatic ties at ambassadorial level.

"Gambia recognizes the importance and reality of the one-China policy, national reunification and peaceful reunification," Macdouall-Gaye said at a joint news conference with Wang.
