Commercial Office of Peru to Taipei

The Commercial Office of Peru in Taipei (Spanish: Oficina Comercial del Perú en Taipei, Chinese: 秘魯駐台北商務辦事處; pinyin: Bìlǔ zhù táiběi shāngwù bànshì chù) represents interests of Peru in Taiwan in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy.

[3][4] Peru maintained a diplomatic mission in Beijing since the establishment of relations in 1874,[5][6] while China's legation arrived in Lima only after the War of the Pacific.

[1] As a result of the Chinese Civil War, Peru closed its embassy in Beijing in 1946 due to its refusal to recognize the newly established People's Republic of China.

[10] As such, the Peruvian embassy in Taipei closed on November 3, 1971,[1] with Peru having opened a commercial office in Beijing some time prior.

[11] After a 20-year period without an official representation, Peru opened its representative office in Taipei on March 3, 1994,[1] located in the 16th floor of the TWTC International Trade Building.
