The Taipei Representative Office in Hungary (Chinese: 駐匈牙利臺北代表處; pinyin: Zhù Xiōngyálì Táiběi Dàibiǎo Chù) (Hungarian: Magyarországi Tajpej Képviseleti) represents the interests of Taiwan in the Republic of Hungary in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy.
[1][2] The aim of the representative office is to further bilateral cooperation between Hungary and Taiwan in the fields of economics, culture, education and research.
However, Hungary and the ROC never resumed full relations as the Soviet-backed Hungarian People's Republic recognized the newly established People's Republic of China on October 3, 1949, two days after it was declared.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan and the Information Bureau of the Executive Yuan also sent staff to work together.
[5][6] Since September 2020, the office is headed by a representative, currently Shih-chung Liu, a senior foreign policy adviser to former President of Taiwan Chen Shui-bian.
