The Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India (Chinese: 駐印度代表處; pinyin: Zhù Yìndù Dàibiǎo Chù) is the representative office of Taiwan in India, functioning as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomatic relations. It was established in 1995.[citation needed] It is headed by a Representative, currently Baushuan Ger.[2]

The Center is also responsible for relations with Nepal and Bhutan, and has joint responsibility for Bangladesh with the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand in Bangkok.[3] Between 2004 and 2009, affairs with Bangladesh were handled by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Bangladesh in Dhaka.[4]
