TAIPEI (Kyodo) — Taiwan’s foreign minister said Monday the self-ruled island had rejected South Africa’s request that it must relocate its liaison office out of its administrative capital Pretoria.
According to Taiwan media reports, South Africa told Taipei earlier this month the Taiwan office must move before the end of October or be forced to close, allegedly due to pressure from China.
