The congratulatory message also expressed Tsai's hopes that bilateral relations will continue to deepen under Truss' leadership.
The foreign ministry says it believes relations between the two sides will continue to grow with Truss as prime minister as she expressed her support for Taiwan on several occasions during her tenure as the UK's foreign secretary.
