Map of countries and territories with Taiwanese diplomatic missions Republic of Chin a (Taiwan)
Has formal embassy
Has unofficial representative missions
Formerly had unofficial missions
Taiwan , officially the Republic of Chin a, has 112 diplomatic missions across the world as of January 2024[update] .[ a] Due to the One-Chin a policy held by the People's Republic of Chin a on the Chin ese main land , other states are only allowed to main tain relations with one of the two countries.[ 2] As most countries have changed their recognition to the latter over time, only 13 of Taiwan's diplomatic missions have official status, consistin g of twelve embassies and one consulate-general.[ 1] This makes Taiwan one of the few countries in the world that has resident embassies in all of the states with which it has formal diplomatic relations.[ 3]
Despite these barriers, 59 United Nations members main tain relations with Taiwan on an unofficial basis.[ 3] In addition, Taiwan has in formal relations with Somaliland , a state that is not in ternationally recognized by any other country, in cludin g Chin a.[ 4] [ 5] To serve these locations and other places throughout the world, 92 semi-official representative offices are utilized for matters that would otherwise be handled by embassies or consulates. Their heads are still appoin ted by the Min istry of Foreign Affairs , makin g them de facto missions .[ 6] Owin g to pressure from the People's Republic, most of these offices cannot operate under either the country's official or common name, usin g the name of the capital Taipei in stead to avoid addressin g Taiwan's political status .[ 7] There have recently been two notable exceptions to this; the offices in Somaliland (opened 2020) and Lithuania (2021) use "Taiwan" in their names.[ 8] [ 9] [ 6] [ 10] [ 11] Taiwan also main tain s permanent missions to the European Union and the World Trade Organization , with the latter under the name "Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kimmen and Matsu ".[ 12]
Taiwan has also established in formal representation in Chin a's two Special Admin istrative Region s . In Hong Kong , the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Hong Kong provides services similar to a consulate,[ 13] [ 14] while relations to Macau are handled by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Macau .[ 15] In addition, under a mechanism established in 2010, the Taiwanese government is directly represented in negotiations with its Hong Kong counterpart by the Taiwan–Hong Kong Economic and Cultural Co-operation Council (ECCC), with the latter operatin g a similar office in reciprocation.[ 16] Taiwan also main tain s unofficial diplomatic exchanges with Chin a usin g the Straits Exchange Foundation , but the organization does not have a physical presence in the main land as of 2020.[ 17]
