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 Culture, Media and Sport has had a number of discussions with representatives of the Taiwan administration on areas of mutual interest over the last five years.
