Chad and the Republic of China first established bilateral relations in 1962, before Chad chose to switch recognition from the ROC to thePeople's Republic of China in 1972.[1] The ROC increased the amount of foreign aid going to Chad in the 1990s and bilateral ties were restored in 1997. In 2000,ROC PresidentChen Shui-bian became the first non-African head of state to visit Chad.[2] In July 2006,ROC Minister of Foreign AffairsJames C. F. Huang visitedN'Djamena and met with the leaders of Chad to improve relations between the two nations. On 6 August 2006, Chad switched diplomatic relations from the ROC to the PRC for the second time.[3]

In January 2006,Chinese Petroleum Corporation signed an agreement with theGovernment of Chad for the rights to explore oil and gas in the country.[4]Despite Chad's switch to the PRC in 2006, the CPC maintains 35% of oil exploration rights in the oil field and received the first shipment of oil in December 2020.[5]
