China–Gambia relations explained

China has an embassy in Banjul, while the Gambia has an embassy in Beijing.

History

In July 1995, Gambia recognized the Republic of China (Taiwan), prompting the People's Republic of China to suspend its foreign relations with Gambia. China-Gambia relations were re-established on March 17, 2016, and Gambia no longer recognizes Taiwan.

Educational exchanges

To strengthen educational exchanges and bilateral ties, the public University of Gambia in 2018 signed a memorandum of understanding with China's Guizhou University to establish a Confucius Institute at the University of Gambia.[1]
