Taiwan ‘specially invited’ to sign Queen’s condolence book
Taiwan’s de facto ambassador given invite to Lancaster House, but hasn’t said whether it can send anyone to the state funeral
Taiwan’s de facto ambassador in London received a special invitation to sign the book of condolence for the Queen, the island’s foreign ministry said, adding he was given the same treatment as other dignitaries.
Britain, like most countries, has no diplomatic ties with Chinese-claimed Taiwan though they have close unofficial ones. Democratically governed Taiwan is largely excluded from most international events and bodies due to Beijing’s objections.
