William Quinto
William Quinto MBE (born 1937) is a Belizean diplomat. From 1990 to 2008 he served as Belize's ambassador to the Republic of China, resident in Taipei, Taiwan; he uses the Chinese name Wu Yong-chuan ().
==Career==
Quinto, a businessman and a People's United Party supporter, by the early 1980s had long been acquainted with Said Musa, who was a legal consultant for his company. He began lobbying then-Prime Minister George Price for Belize to establish relations with Taiwan in those years. Then-ROC ambassador to Guatemala Gene Loh came to Belize in May 1984 and met with Quinto and Price to discuss the possibility of establishing relations, but Guatemalan leader Rodolfo Lobos Zamora objected, and after Manuel Esquivel of the opposing United Democratic Party of Belize took power in election late that year, the plans were put aside. In the coming years, Quinto would put up the funds for Musa (by then Minister of Education), Minister of Foreign Affairs Harry Courtney, and Vice Minister Robert Leslie to go to Japan and Hong Kong in order to meet with Loh again. However, it would not be until after the 1989 election when the PUP regained power, that Belize and the ROC established relations. At that point, Belize only had three overseas missions, in London, Washington DC, and at the United Nations in New York City; Musa, who by then had become Minister of Foreign Affairs, told Quinto that if he did not go to Taipei to fill the position of ambassador, there would be no one else to take the job, and thus he went.〔
