The Korean Mission in Taipei (Korean: 주 타이베이 대한민국 대표부; Chinese: 駐台北韓國代表部) is the representative office of South Korea in Taiwan, functioning as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomatic relations.

[1] Unlike American Institute in Taiwan or Japan–Taiwan Exchange Association, the Korean Mission in Taipei is directly under control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South Korea (MOFA), and the representative, the head of the Mission, is a position usually served by senior foreign service officers from MOFA.

[citation needed] The Mission was established on 25 November 1993[2][3] following an agreement on 27 July of that year.

[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 August 27, 1992.

[5][6] On 1 September 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.
