The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New Zealand (Chinese: 駐紐西蘭台北經濟文化辦事處) represents interests of Taiwan in New Zealand in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy.

## History

The office was established in Auckland in 1973 as the East Asian Trade Center.[1] Before 1972, New Zealand recognized Taiwan as the "Republic of China".[3] However, diplomatic relations were ended following the decision of the government of Norman Kirk to recognize the People's Republic of China.[4] It adopted its present name in 1991.[5]

## Functions and location

[edit]

The Office is headed by a Representative, currently Amb. Joanne Ou.[2]

Its head office is in Wellington, and there is also a branch office in Auckland.[6]

It is counterpart in Taiwan is the New Zealand Commerce and Industry Office in Taipei.[7]
