Taiwan requests more time to move ‘unofficial embassy’ in BRICS state

South Africa had given Taipei until the end of March to relocate its mission from the capital, Pretoria

With Taiwan’s South African office having been recently downgraded from Taipei Liaison Office (TLO) to Taipei Commercial Office (TCO), the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) has revealed that while the impending relocation of the Taiwan office has been set in stone, Taipei has indicated that this might take longer than expected due to budgetary constraints.
