The Taipei Commercial Office in Bogotá, Colombia (Chinese: 駐哥倫比亞代表處; pinyin: Zhù Gēlúnbǐyǎ Dàibiǎo Chù) (Spanish: Oficina Comercial de Taipéi en Bogotá, Colombia) represents the interests of Taiwan in Colombia in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy.
Until 1980, Colombia recognised Taiwan as the Republic of China, which, in addition to its embassy in Bogotá, had a consulate general in Barranquilla.
[3][4] There is no longer a counterpart organisation in Taipei, although a Colombian Trade Office was established in 1993[5] and closed in 2002.
[6] The Office is headed by Ms Francisca Y.T.Chang (Chinese: 張幼慈; pinyin: Zhāng Yòucí; Wade–Giles: Chang Yu-tz'u),[7] its Representative as of 2020.
[8] These were previously handled by the Oficina Economica de Taipéi in Caracas, established in 1974, but closed in 2009,[9] following tensions with the government of Hugo Chávez, which had close ties with the People's Republic of China and refused to renew the visas of the office's staff.
