History

On 7 May, 1984, the Taiwanese government officially established diplomatic relations with Saint Lucia. A month later on 7 June, Taiwan established an embassy at the St. Lucian capital of Castries. On 29 August, 1997, Saint Lucia established relations with the People's Republic of China, and the Taiwanese government cut ties with St. Lucia shortly afterwards.

On 20 April, 2007, Taiwanese foreign minister James Huang and St. Lucian foreign minister Rufus Bousquet announced the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries.[1] On 4 June, 2015, St. Lucia established its embassy in the Taiwanese capital of Taipei.[2]
