The UK has no diplomatic relations with Taiwan but a strong, unofficial relationship, based on deep and growing ties in a wide range of areas, underpinned by shared democratic values.

The Department for Business and Trade has had discussions with representatives of the Taiwan administration in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022.
