The Taipei Economic and Cultural Mission in Ankara; (Turkish: Taipei Ekonomik ve Kültür Misyonu) represents the interests of Taiwan in Turkey in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy. It was established in 1993.[1]
Turkey had diplomatic relations with Taiwan as the Republic of China until 1971, when it recognised the People's Republic of China.[2]
Its counterpart in Taiwan is the Turkish Trade Office in Taipei.[3]
The Office is headed by a Representative, currently Volkan Chih-Yang Huang.[4]
