Taiwan Reaffirms Ties with Haiti Amid Escalating Gang Crisis
Taiwanese Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung met with Haitian counterparts on April 30, 2026, to reaffirm diplomatic ties as Haiti continues to battle near-total gang control of its capital. The meeting coincided with the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations. While an advance team of the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force has begun arriving in Port-au-Prince, the diplomatic gesture from Taiwan highlights the island's role as one of Haiti's last steadfast allies during its ongoing humanitarian and political collapse.
