Its counterpart body in Taiwan is the Vietnam Economic and Culture Office in Taipei.[4]
The Ho Chi Minh City office, along with its counterpart in Hanoi, was established in June 1992.[5] Until 1975, Taiwan, as the Republic of China, had an embassy in Saigon.[6] From 1964 to 1972, General Hu Lien served as the ambassador.[7] However, the embassy suspended operations after the defeat of South Vietnam by the Communist North, which has diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.[8]
