Taipei Commercial Representative Office in the State of Kuwait

The Taipei Commercial Representative Office in the State of Kuwait (Chinese: 駐科威特王國臺北商務代表處; pinyin: Zhù Kēwēitè wángguó táiběi shāngwù dàibiǎo chù) represents the interests of Taiwan in the State of Kuwait in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy.

The aim of the representative office is to further bilateral cooperation between Kuwait and Taiwan in the fields of economics, culture, education and research.

[2] On April 23, 1986, the Commercial Office of the Republic of China in the State of Kuwait was established with the function of an embassy.

In August 1990, following the outbreak of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, a total of 143 employees, family members and expatriates working with the Commercial Office in Kuwait, CPC Corporation, BES Engineering Corporation and the Taiwan External Trade Development Council evacuated Kuwait and arrived in Jordan.

After the liberation of Kuwait following the 1991 Gulf War, the office's operations resumed on March 27, 1991.
