BANJUL (Reuters) - Gambia's new government has endorsed the "one China" policy and said it would not establish any official relations or contacts with Taiwan, continuing a policy adopted in March 2016 by the government of former leader Yahya Jammeh.

The policy affirms the Chinese position that there is only one China and Taiwan is part of it.
