Taiwan–Venezuela relations have almost been nonexistent since Venezuela recognized the People's Republic of China in 1974, although unofficial relations have been preserved through a Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Caracas. In the 2000s, increasing partnership between the government of the Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and the People's Republic of China has led to a more overt rejection of the Taiwan's legitimacy by Venezuela. ==History== Relations between Taiwan and Venezuela began on August 1944 when an office belonging to the Republic of China was established in Caracas. On September 1949, José Manuel Ferrer who was in charge of the Venezuelan office in China moved with the government of the ROC to Taipei when Chiang Kai-shek lost the control of mainland China.〔Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Venezuela: ( Relaciones entre la República de China y la República de Venezuela ) Accessed 18 December 2007 〕 José Gil Borges was appointed to the position of ambassador of Venezuela in Taiwan on February 1966. On 1 July 1966 the previous ROC office in Caracas was promoted to the category of embassy.〔 Venezuela broke diplomatic relations with Taiwan in favor of the People’s Republic of China on 28 June 1974. Since then unofficial relations between the two countries have been managed through a Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Caracas.〔 In the past some important Venezuelans have visited Taiwan such as: * Rafael Caldera: a former President of Venezuela: January 1992. * Werner Corrales: a former Minister of development: October 1995. * Ramón Germán Monzón Salas: a former President of the foreign policy commission of the Venezuelan congress: January 1996. * Juan José Caldera: a former senator of the Venezuelan congress: April 1997. * Paciano Padrón: a former President of the foreign policy commission of the Venezuelan congress: January 1998. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taiwan–Venezuela relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
