The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Hanoi, Vietnam (Chinese: 駐胡志明市台北經濟文化辦事處; pinyin: Zhù Húzhìmíng Shì Táiběi Jīngjì Wénhuà Bànshì Chù) (Vietnamese: Văn phòng Kinh tế Văn hóa Đài Bắc tại thành phố Hồ Chí Minh) represents the interests of Taiwan in southern regions of Vietnam and Cambodia, functioning as a de facto consulate in the absence of diplomatic relations. There is also a Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Hanoi.[2] This has responsibility for relations with Laos as well as northern regions of Vietnam.[3]
Its counterpart body in Vietnam is the Vietnam Economic and Culture Office in Taipei.[4]
History
The Ho Chi Minh City office, along with its counterpart in Hanoi, was established in June 1992.[5] Until 1975, Taiwan, as the Republic of China, had an Embassy in Saigon.[6] From 1964 to 1972, Republic of China Army General Hu Lien served as Ambassador.[7] However, it suspended its operations after the defeat of South Vietnam by the Communist North, which had maintained full diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.[8]
