The Taipei Mission in Sweden (Chinese : 駐瑞典台北代表團 ; pinyin : Zhù Ruìdiǎn Táiběi Dàibiǎo Tuán ) represents the interests of Taiwan in Sweden in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy .[ 3] Its counterpart in Taiwan is the Swedish Trade and Invest Council in Taipei .[ 1] [ 3] The office also handles affairs in Norway after the Taipei Representative Office in Norway closed on 30 September 2017.[ 4]
History
Sweden established official diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1950, which required the Swedish government to break off relations with the government in Taiwan.[ 5]
The Taipei Mission was established as the Taipei Trade, Tourism and Information Office in 1981[ 1] and renamed to Taipei Mission in Sweden in 1994.
