Sometimes known as a ‘liaison office’, a mission other than a consular post or an interests section which represents one state in another in the absence of diplomatic relations (sense 1) between them. In these circumstances, typically where one party refuses to recognize the government or state of the other but both are keen to promote contacts, representative offices are a favoured solution to the problem of resident representation. In effect informal embassies, they were employed in Japan\'s relations with certain states prior to the ending of the occupation regime in 1952 (though foreign ‘liaison missions’ in Japan were formally accredited to the Supreme Command of the Allied Powers). They were also exchanged between the United States and the People\'s Republic of China in the interval between the rapprochement between them in the early 1970s and US recognition of the PRC in 1979. And they are currently popular with Taiwan and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. |
