Taiwan, Officially The Republic Of China, Thanks “Indian Friends” For Wishes And Support On Its National Day

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), on Saturday (10 October) expressed its gratitude to all the people around the world and "especially" to its "Indian friends" who congratulated and extended support to the island nation on its National Day.

The development comes after Chinese embassy in New Delhi in an open letter to the Indian media had asked it to not “recognise” Taiwan by celebrating or marking “National Day of Taiwan”.

It should be noted that China claims Taiwan as its territory. However, Taiwan considers itself an independent nation.

Meanwhile, following the Chinese embassy's opposition to Indian media's coverage of Taiwan National Day, large Large poster wishing Taiwan on its ‘National Day’ have come up outside the Chinese Embassy complex in New Delhi’s Chanakyapuri.
