Background

Following the signing of the Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China which resulted in the United States terminating diplomatic relations with the Republic of China, the consulate of the Republic of China in Los Angeles was closed on 28 February 1979. On 1 March 1979, the Coordination Council for North American Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China established the Los Angeles Office of the Coordination Council for North American Affairs. On 10 October 1994, it was renamed the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Los Angeles.
Prior to 2025, the office was located in Koreatown, Los Angeles, at 3731 Wilshire Boulevard. In January 21, 2025, the office was relocated to 4401 Wilshire Boulevard.
