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.[4] Its counterpart in Taiwan is the Swedish Trade and Invest Council in Taipei.[1][4] The office will also handle affairs of Taiwanese in Norway after the Taipei Representative Office in Norway will be suspended on 30 September 2017.[5]

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.[6]

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.
