MOFA: Calls for Denmark to Correct Taiwan Nationality Label
Posted on 2026-04-07 14:07:15
Taiwan has withdrawn certain diplomatic courtesies extended to Danish representatives in Taipei after Denmark began listing Taiwanese residents' nationality as China instead of Taiwan.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the dispute began in 2024 when Denmark changed the nationality and place of birth categories for Taiwanese expats from "Taiwan" to "China."
MOFA says today that the current policy does not follow EU diplomatic practices and could damage the long-term friendship between the two countries.
Taiwanese diplomats in Denmark say they are still in talks with local officials to resolve the matter, and the foreign ministry is calling on the Danish government to fix the labels immediately to reflect the correct nationality.
