台湾宣布关闭驻巴布亚新几内亚代表处：撤回全部人员、终止援助并停止采购其液化天然气
台北 — 台湾方面的外交部门11月6日晚间宣布，主动关闭驻巴布亚新几内亚代表处，撤回所有派驻人员，同时全面终止对巴布亚新几内亚的各项技术合作与援助计划，并已停止在现货市场采购该国液化天然气、未来不再签订新的现货采购合约。
宣布的背景是：巴布亚新几内亚政府今年7月单方面宣布立即关闭台湾驻巴布亚新几内亚代表处；台湾方面其后以停止在现货市场进口巴布亚新几内亚液化天然气作为回应，并维持代表处运作与沟通。巴布亚新几内亚政府近日再度要求台湾驻处人员限期离境。台湾方面的外交部门表示，这一做法已严重影响双方长期合作建立的互信基础，并指中国持续运用政治压力与经济影响力干预他国决策、压缩台湾的国际空间。
终止的援助包括技术团、医疗团服务以及奖学金与人才培育计划，外交部门表示会妥善处理既有合作计划的后续事宜，并确保相关人员的安全与权益。据路透社报道，台湾原计划在2026年上半年购买约50万吨巴布亚新几内亚液化天然气，台湾此前约占该国液化天然气出口的三分之一。
巴布亚新几内亚外交部长 Justin Tkatchenko 7月时曾把关闭台湾代表处称为该国重申一个中国政策、加强对北京信任的一步。

Taiwan Announces Closure of Its Representative Office in Papua New Guinea: All Staff Withdrawn, Aid Ended and LNG Purchases Stopped
TAIPEI — Taiwan's foreign affairs authorities announced on the evening of November 6 that they would close Taiwan's representative office in Papua New Guinea on their own initiative, withdraw all stationed personnel, terminate all technical cooperation and aid programs in the country, stop buying Papua New Guinean liquefied natural gas on the spot market, and sign no new spot purchase contracts.
The announcement followed months of dispute. Papua New Guinea's government unilaterally announced in July that Taiwan's representative office would be closed immediately; Taiwan responded by suspending spot-market LNG purchases from Papua New Guinea while keeping the office operating and talks going. The Papua New Guinea government recently renewed its demand that the office's personnel leave by a deadline. Taiwan's foreign affairs authorities said the move had seriously undermined the trust built through years of cooperation, and accused China of continually using political pressure and economic influence to interfere in other countries' decisions and squeeze Taiwan's international space.
The aid being ended includes technical and medical missions, scholarships and personnel training programs; the authorities said existing projects would be wound down properly and personnel safety and rights protected. According to Reuters, Taiwan had planned to buy about 500,000 tonnes of Papua New Guinean LNG in the first half of 2026, and Taiwan previously accounted for about a third of the country's LNG exports.
Papua New Guinea's Foreign Minister Justin Tkatchenko said in July that closing Taiwan's office was a step reaffirming his country's one-China policy and strengthening trust with Beijing.
