The Vietnam Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei (Vietnamese: Văn phòng Kinh tế Văn hoá Việt Nam) (Chinese: 駐台北越南經濟文化辦事處; pinyin: Zhù Táiběi Yuènán jīngjì wénhuà bànshì chù) is the representative office of Vietnam in Taiwan, which functions as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomatic relations. Its counterpart body in Vietnam is the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Vietnam based in Hanoi.[2]

## History

[edit]

The Office was established in 1993.[3] This followed visits to Vietnam by the Sino-Vietnamese Industrial and Commercial Association (SVICA) and China External Trade Development Council (CETRA) in 1991, and there was also provision for a branch office being established in Kaohsiung.[4]

Before 1975, South Vietnam recognised Taiwan as the Republic of China, and had an embassy in Taipei.[5] Nguyễn Văn Kiểu, brother of President Nguyễn Văn Thiệu, served as minister counsellor at the embassy.[6] He was later made ambassador.[7] On 25 April 1975, only five days before the Fall of Saigon, Thieu flew to Taipei.[8] In 1976, South Vietnam was reunified with the Communist-controlled North, which had maintained full diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.
