In the communiqué, the Chinese government vowed 1 to support the Gambian government in matters of national sovereignty and economic development.
The Gambian government pledged to adhere to the one-China policy and recognize the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government representing the whole of China, and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory.
It has also undertaken not to establish any official relations or engage in any official contact with Taiwan.
China and The Gambia established diplomatic links in 1974. But they were suspended in 1995 after the West African nation shifted towards Taipei.
The Gambia cut ties with the island government in 2013.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi again stated that the one-China principle was a political precondition, and the foundation for China's diplomatic relations.
He added that bilateral 2 cooperation would be enhanced in many areas.
"The two sides both agree to enhance communications at all levels and develop cooperation in six fields including agriculture and forestry 3, processing industry and manufacturing, investment and trade, infrastructure 4, human resources development and humanity."
For her part, the Gambian Foreign Minister Neneh MacDouall Gaye said her country would work with China to promote bilateral cooperation.
"The People's Republic of China and the Islamic Republic of Gambia realized the need to reestablish the diplomatic relations at ambassadorial level and both country have worked to make this happen based on mutual 5 respect, mutual benefit and recognition of each other's sovereignty. We have discussed cooperation and we look forward to working with China to make all of these happen."
McDouall-Gaye also said the Gambia would actively 6 take part in cooperation, within the framework of the Forum 7 on China-Africa Cooperation.
On the same day, the authorities in the Chinese mainland denied the restoration of diplomatic ties was being used as a warning to leaders in Taiwan.
Foreign Ministry 8 spokesman Lu Kang.
"The time of when to resume the diplomatic ties was decided 9 by the two sides. The Gambia and Taiwan had already broken off their so-called diplomatic relations. So today, the restoration of diplomatic ties is not against anyone. We will always adhere to the 'One China' policy and our policy of promoting the peaceful development of relations across the Taiwan Straits doesn't change."
The two countries also agreed to exchange ambassadors and provide necessary assistance for the establishment of embassies and the performance of their respective duties on a reciprocal basis.
