The Taipei Representative Office in the UK (TRO; Chinese: 駐英國台北代表處; pinyin: Zhù Yīngguó Táiběi Dàibiǎo Chù) is a liaison office of Taiwan in the United Kingdom. It is not a fully-fledged diplomatic mission owing to the ongoing Taiwan dispute and One-China policy. However, it is the highest-level representation of the Taiwan authority in the United Kingdom. It manages cultural, economic and political cooperation between the UK and Taiwan, as well as offering consular services.[1] Its counterpart body in Taiwan is the British Office Taipei.[2]
