Taiwan has welcomed the Philippine government’s decision to lift the travel ban on visitors coming from the self-governing island, saying ‘diplomacy works.’

Jaushieh Wu, minister of foreign affairs said in tweet late Thursday, “I’m glad the Philippines government lifted its travel ban on #Taiwan. Thanks all who helped in the process. #Taiwan & the #Philippines are close neighbors & good friends. Mabuhay!”

The Philippines’ Inter-agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases announced Friday that it is scrapping its order to bar the entry of tourists coming from Taiwan, citing the self-administered state’s implementation of “very strict and excellent protocols in handing travelers.

The Philippines' temporary travel ban originally covered tourists coming directly from mainland China, and its special administrative regions Hong Kong and Macau. President Duterte also considers China as one of, if not its most important Asian allies.
