The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Hanoi, Vietnam (Chinese: 駐越南台北經濟文化辦事處; pinyin: Zhù Yuènán Táiběi Jīngjì Wénhuà Bànshì Chù) (Vietnamese: Văn phòng Kinh tế Văn hóa Đài Bắc tại Hà Nội, Việt Nam) is the representative office of Taiwan in Vietnam, which functions as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomatic relations. It also has responsibility for Laos.[2]
Its counterpart body in Taiwan is the Vietnam Economic and Culture Office in Taipei.[3]
There is also a Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Ho Chi Minh City.[4] This has responsibility for relations with Cambodia as well as southern regions of Vietnam.[2]
In February 2014, a former Secretary of the Office was investigated by police for reportedly cooperating to take bribes to illegally grant visas to Vietnamese students two years earlier.[5]
History
The Hanoi office, along with its counterpart in Ho Chi Minh City, was established in June 1992.[6] This followed visits to Vietnam by the Sino-Vietnamese Industrial and Commercial Association (SVICA) and China External Trade Development Council (CETRA) in 1991.[7]
Until 1975, Taiwan, as the Republic of China, had an Embassy in Saigon.[8] 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.[9]
