The Liaison Office of the Republic of South Africa in Taipei (

Taipei Liaison Office in the Republic of South Africa in Pretoria.[3]

The Office is

headed by a Representative, currently Robert Seraki Matsebe.[1]

History

The Office was formerly the Embassy of the Republic of South Africa.[4] South Africa first established a Consulate in Taipei in 1967, which was upgraded to a Consulate General three years later.[5] In 1976, this was upgraded to an Embassy.[6]

However, when South Africa recognised the

People's Republic of China, its diplomatic relations with Taiwan were terminated.[7] This led to the establishment of the Office in 1998.[8]
