Taiwan cuts ties with Kiribati



TAIPEI: Taiwan said it has cut official ties with Kiribati, the Pacific island nation, international media reports have said.

The decision comes days after the Solomon Islands cut off ties with Taiwan. This deals a fresh blow to Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, who is currently seeking re-election in January 2020.
