# South Africa has renamed Taiwan’s Pretoria office from Taipei Liaison Office to Taipei Commercial Office. This aligns with its One China Policy, which recognises the People’s Republic of China as the sole representative of China. Government ordered Taiwan to move its office from Pretoria to Johannesburg to reflect this stance. Initially set for March, the move continues to face delays due to budget constraints. The Department of International Relations and Cooperation says discussions continue, focusing on trade rather than diplomacy, while Taiwan has requested further talks on logistics.
