It is understood that it is not the first time that such pairs of flags of Taiwan and of a diplomatic partner have been present on these landmark roads during state visits. Leading a fifteen-headed delegation, president Sogavare’s state visit lasted from Monday the 25th until Friday the 29th. Focus Taiwan (the English-language website of Taiwan’s national news agency) communicated that president Tsai on the state visit’s Tuesday dinner party claimed that there will be a special exhibition about the Solomons showcasing the bilateral exchanges between the two nations at the National Museum of Natural Science in Taichung. Only one week earlier, Sogavare had accused the UN of contradicting its own charter by blocking Taiwan from participation while speaking at the UN General Assembly. Anecdotally, last December News agency Reuters reported that, at the building in Taipei’s Tienmu district which houses most of Taiwan’s foreign embassies, the Solomon Islands flag was reshuffled for aesthetic reasons to the flagpole which still had a plaque bearing the Sao Tome plaque after the West African state switched ties to the People’s Republic of China. At that time, when Taiwan still had twenty-one diplomatic allies, nearly half the flagpoles in front of the building were empty. Currently, Taiwan counts twenty official allies.
