Taiwan's diplomatic ties with Malawi and Panama remain stable.
On Thursday Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press conference that Malawi pledges no change in diplomatic ties, despite the fact that two Malawian ministers had visited China. China forbids its allies from recognizing Taiwan. If Malawi switches diplomatic recognition to China, it will break ties with Taiwan. The Taiwanese foreign ministry said it would closely monitor any future developments.
In related news, Panamanian foreign minister Samuel Lewis said on Wednesday that Panama maintains close relations with Taiwan while developing economic ties with China. Lewis' remarks came as a response to recent Taiwanese media reports that Panama faces great pressure from China.
