A delegation from Romania led by Romanian Senator and Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China co-chair Cristian Ghinea, fourth right, pose for a photo at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport last year. Taiwan and Romania do not maintain formal diplomatic relations. Romania-related affairs are handled by the Taiwan representative offices in Slovakia and Hungary, although the Taiwan Trade Center, Bucharest, was established by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council in 2005 to manage Taiwan-Romanian trade and commerce. There are six Taiwanese businesses with facilities in Romania, dealing with computer hardware and software and resource recycling, with investment estimated at about US$224 million, FTV reported. If negotiations run smoothly, Taiwan could open a representative office in Bucharest by the end of the year, a diplomatic source told FTV.
