The Taipei Mission in Korea (Chinese: 駐韓國台北代表部; pinyin: Zhù Hánguó Táiběi Dàibiǎo Bù; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chù Hân-kok Tâi-pak Tāi-piáu-pō͘) (Hangul: 주한국 타이페이 대표부; RR: Ju Hanguk Taipeidaepyobu) represents the interests of Taiwan in South Korea, functioning as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomatic relations.
Its South Korean counterpart is the Korean Mission in Taipei.[2]
History
The Mission was established on 25 January 1994.[3] following an agreement on July 27, 1993.[4] This was after South Korea ceased to recognise the government in Taipei as the Republic of China, following the establishment of relations with the People's Republic of China on 27 August 1992.[5][6]
On September 1, 2004, representatives of the two countries' missions signed an aviation agreement allowing aircraft of each side to enter the airspace of the other, permitting the resumption of direct scheduled flights by Korean and Taiwanese airlines, which had been discontinued in 1992.[7]
Busan Office
There is also a branch office in Busan, the country's second largest city.[8] This was originally established as the Consulate of the Republic of China.[9]
