The Korean Mission in Taipei is the representative office of South Korea in Taiwan, functioning as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomatic relations. Its counterpart is the Taipei Mission in Korea in Seoul.[2]
The Mission was established on November 25,[3] following an agreement on July 27 1993.[4] This was after South Korea ceased to recognise the government in Taiwan as the Republic of China and closed its embassy in Taipei, following the establishment of relations with the People's Republic of China on 27 August 1992.[5][6]
On September 1, 2004, representatives of the two missions signed an aviation agreement allowing aircraft of each side to enter the airspace of the other, permitting the resumption of direct scheduled flights by Korean and Taiwanese airlines, which had been discontinued in 1992.[7]
