The Taipei Commercial and Cultural Office in Argentina; (Chinese: 駐阿根廷臺北商務文化辦事處; pinyin: Zhù Āgēntíng Táiběi Jīngjì Wénhuà Bànshì Chù) (Spanish: Oficina Comercial y Cultural de Taipei en Argentina) represents the interests of Taiwan in Argentina in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy.

The Office is headed by a Representative.

It also has responsibility for relations with Uruguay.[2] These were previously handled by the now closed Oficina Economica de Taipei in Montevideo.[3]

Its counterpart in Taiwan is the Argentina Trade and Cultural Office in Taipei.[4]

History

[edit]

Diplomatic relations between Argentina and the Republic of China (ROC) started in 1945. However, Argentina switched diplomatic relations from ROC to the People's Republic of China on 19 February 1972. In the same year, ROC closed its embassy in Buenos Aires and established the Oficina Comercial de Taiwán or "Taiwan Trade Office" in 1973, adopting its present name in August 1995.[5]
