The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Macau (TECO; Chinese: 臺北經濟文化辦事處; pinyin: Táiběi Jīngjì Wénhuà Bànshìchù) is the representative office of the Republic of China in Macau. Its counterpart body in Taiwan is the Macau Economic and Cultural Office in Taiwan.
The office is located at Dynasty Plaza building in Sé.[3]
History
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Macau, previously known as the Taipei Trade and Tourism Office in Macau between 1989 and 1999 and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in Macau (Chinese: 臺北經濟文化中心; pinyin: Táiběi Jīngjì Wénhuà Zhōngxīn) between 1999 and 2011, was established in Macau in 1989 during Portuguese rule.
Until 1967, Taipei was represented in Macau by the Special Commissariat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China.[4] However, following the "12-3" riots in 1966, the Portuguese government agreed to close it down, as well as ban all pro-Kuomintang activities.[5] As a result, the opening of the then Taipei Trade and Tourism Office prompted concerns from the local branch of the Xinhua News Agency, the People's Republic of China's de facto mission in Macau, which threatened to protest to the Macau authorities "if anything went wrong".[6]
Opening
The official opening of the office under its new current name was unveiled on 19 July 2011 by the Minister of Mainland Affairs Council of the Republic of China Lai Shin-yuan. The renaming however was done prior to the official office launch under the new name on 4 July 2011.[7]
Transportation
In the future, the office will be served from Jardim das Artes Station of the Macau LRT.
