Taiwan’s Representative/ Head of Mission in Nigeria, Andy Yih-Ping Liu has described President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state visit to the Caribbean nation of Saint Lucia as a landmark achievement in Nigeria diplomacy.

Taiwan (ROC) and St. Lucia, as well as three other Caribbean island nations, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Haiti, have long established diplomatic relations with full-fledged Embassies setting in each other’s capitals.
“Our diplomatic presence of Embassies, together with Development and Technical Aid of medical, agricultural, women and youth empowering, trade and investment strengthening, sustainable development, etc., have truly assisted St. Lucia as well as other Caribbean nations to grow well economically and socially. During President Tinubu’s visit, we are certain His Excellency would have toured some facilities jointly developed by the Taiwanese government and St. Lucian authorities. We’re proud to offer our helping hands that produce fruitful results, and we certainly welcome wholeheartedly that Nigeria will also be joining this humanitarian and economic collaborations in the Caribbean area.”
He added, “We are extremly delighted to witness H.E. President Tinubu graciously receiving the conferment of Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Lucia (K.C.O.S.L.) in recognition of his efforts to strengthen ties between Africa and the Caribbean. This has showcased His Excellency’s visionary exploration and escalation of Nigeria’s ever-growing internatioal status, and his grand movements in deepening the collaboration with the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).”
