Palau has long had friendly relations with the ROC. In 1983, then-president Haruo Remeliik led a delegation to Taiwan, and in 1984 signed an agricultural cooperation agreement with the ROC. Since 1985, ROC technical assistance teams have been helping to develop Palau's agriculture, thus laying down the foundation of friendship.
帛琉一向與我國友好，一九八三年，帛琉總統雷蒙立克就曾率團訪台，八四年更與我國簽訂農業技術合作協定，八五年起我國開始派遣農技團赴帛琉協助發展農業，奠下友誼基礎。
