Tuesday 20th June 2023

Asked by: Elizabeth Truss (Conservative - South West Norfolk)

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether her Department has had discussions with representatives of the Government of Taiwan in each of the last five years.

Answered by George Freeman

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 Science, Innovation and Technology was newly created on 7 February 2023, and the Department has since had discussions with representatives of the Taiwan administration.
