St. Kitts and Nevis and ROC Taiwan established formal diplomatic ties in September 1983.
Taiwan was one of the first nations that established relations with SKN when we attained our Independence.
In 2008, the Embassy of SKN in Taiwan was opened and H.E. Jasmine Huggins was appointed as
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary. The two nations celebrated 36 years of partnership on September 19th 2020.
Over the years, SKN has benefited from various projects and assistance from Taiwan
in the fields of Education, Public Health Infrastructure Development, Agriculture and Information Technology. Every year the government of Taiwan gives 15-20 citizens scholarships to pursue either a Bachelor, Masters or Doctorate degree in Taiwan, with MOFA and ICDF.
In 2017,Taiwan granted visa-waiver to SKN nationals for up to 30 days.
This was a significant achievement for the bilateral relations between the two nations.
Accepting a medal from St Kitts and Nevis, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said on Monday July 15th marked the long-term partnership between the two countries.
Tsai was conferred with the Order of Saint Christopher and Nevis by Tapley Seaton, governor-general of the Caribbean nation. This is the “biggest recognition for the long-term friendship and development of partnership” between Taiwan and St Kitts and Nevis, she said.Taiwan was the first county to establish formal relations with St Kitts and Nevis, which became an independent state in 1983. Receiving the medal from Seaton, who played an important part in developing diplomatic relations, is “particularly meaningful,” Tsai said.
