The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Ho Chi Minh City (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 the 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 Vietnam located in Hanoi,[2] which has responsibility for relations with the northern regions of Vietnam as well as Laos.[3]

Its counterpart body in Taiwan 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, General Hu Lien served as the ambassador.[7] However, the embassy suspended operations after the defeat of South Vietnam by the Communist North, which has diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.[8]
