Later on Tuesday, Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi also held a meeting with the Gambian delegation.

China and Gambia resumed diplomatic ties in March 2016 since the latter recognized that there is only one China and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory.

Invited by Wang, Darboe is paying a week-long official visit to China from July 31 to August 6. It is Darboe's first China tour since the new Gambian government took office earlier this year.
