On December 26, 2017, São Tomé and Príncipe re-established diplomatic relations with China, and a Chinese embassy was opened in the capital in April 2017. Beijing moved swiftly to provide substantial aid to the archipelago previously provided by Taiwan. In January 2017, the two nations signed a 5-year co‑operation agreement prioritizing areas including tourism, infrastructure, technology, agriculture and fisheries, student scholarships and medical assistance. The Economist reports that Chinese leader "<a href="/wiki/Xi_Jinping" title="Xi Jinping">Xi Jinping</a> declared that China was ready to expand co‑operation to maritime security to combat piracy and transnational organised crime."
