Honduras has ended its decades-long relationship with Taiwan and said it only recognised China, leaving Taiwan with formal diplomatic relations with only 13 countries.

China views democratically governed Taiwan as part of its territory with no right to state-to-state ties, a position Taiwan's government strongly disputes.

Over the years, China has slowly whittled away at the number of countries that maintain formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan.

Following is a list of states that have diplomatic ties with Taiwan:

LATIN AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN

Belize

Guatemala

Paraguay

Haiti

Saint Kitts and Nevis

Saint Lucia

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

PACIFIC

Marshall Islands

Nauru

Palau

Tuvalu

AFRICA

Eswatini

EUROPE

Vatican City
